I forgot to order my refill for my 60mg cymbalta's and went off for about a week. (mail order prescription service)
I started having the depression, nausia, and blured vision, but instead of the shocks in the head, I have a symptom of whenever I close my eyes and my eyes move I hear a wooosh-wooosh shound in my ears that is VERY disconcerting! Maybe others are interpreting this feeling as a shock.
I was also having horrible insomnia about 3 days after going off. I had about 1-1/2 hours of sleep in about 72 hours. I felt like I was going crazy. I found a 30mg capsule and took it which did help for that day but the next day I was right back to the whooshing.I finally got my doctor to write me a script for a few days supply until my normal order arrives.
Cymbalta does seem to help me more than most of the other meds I have taken in the past.
I hate being dependent on ANY meds but this may be one I am stuck with. The only real problem I have while taking it is it seems to make me have carpel tunnel syndrom. My hands go numb alot and I have pain in my thumb down to my wrist.Good luck to all,
RoD
