> Believe it or not, I am STILL having dizzy spells. It is soooo annoying. I am splitting the anti-vertigo pills in half so I don't get so tired, but I still need them. Then the dizziness gives me little waves of nausea. This is day 12, and I was down to probably 5 mg every other day. Yet my doctor says it's not the Cymbalta. I'm not taking anything else -- except the stuff to counter-act the dizziness and nausea!!! I heard a guy in the pharmacy yesterday getting a scrip filled for Cymbalta -- I felt like saying, "DON'T DO IT!!!!"

I have no personal experience with Ultram. It is considered to be a mild opioid, and probably makes a better first choice than something like oxycontin. The thing is, it also acts like a SRI of sorts. If you decide to take it, I would be very interested to know if it helps with withdrawal symptoms.
