in response to cymbalta victim, I too, am still looking for the answer -HOW LONG???? I am on dy 26 cymbalta free, still have brain zaps,and dizziness and the headaches and light sensitivity. The symptoms have lessened, but I am also using klonipin as a brain cocoon. I haven't thrown up for 3 days, but still feel muscle aches and joint pain-I just ache everywhere!. I have outrageous and unprovoked feelings of rage and stupid crying spells. I continue to be intermittently suicidal. My head, too kills me when my dog barks-I want my life back, and want to feel like myself, again. The upside is that I've lost 10# without modifying diet or activity level. The 60 or so # I gained on Cymbalta has sure not made my depression any better. There is also a great message board if you google "cymbalta hell"-good insights and interesting features, there, too. Something that IS scary is that Andrea Yates was taking Efexor when she killed her 5 kids. When I learned that, it scared the crap out of me. I was working as a post-partum nurse while on effexor! This crap is wicked and scary, and I want my life back!! Regards, hermansmom
