I am coming off of Cymbalta and have found that Vicodin has been a really big help. I posted about "V" somewhere else but thought it would be relevant here. About a week ago I ended up in the ER because of extreme foot pain. They took an xray and it was fine and they couldn't figure out what the problem was. Looking back I think it was an extreme reaction to Cymbalta withdrawal plus I was dehydrated but in any case they gave me Norco (Vicodin with a lower amount of tylenol) and not only is the extreme aches and pains gone my mood has stabilized as well a bit. I still feel like biting people's heads off but at least I am smiling while doing it, lol! Seriously I can feel the withdrawal symptom of extreme anger sitting in the background behind the sense of the feeling of everything is just great that V gives you. I am NOT advocating abuse of Vicodin, just that it might be a good drug to help get a person through Cymbalta (and maybe even Effexor) withdrawal. I am going to try Tramadol when the V wears out and see if it can get me through the end process of no Cymbalta.
