Advice & Tips
I am currently waning off of it and have started experiencing the physical symptoms of burry vision in the morning, dizziness, nausea, and headaches throughout the day. It has been easier to wane off of than Pristiq, but I hope these symptoms pass soon.

Advice & Tips
When i first started taking Cymbalta it seemed to help with the pain and make me feel a little better all the way around! But the reason i stopped taking it was cuz i couldent tell if it was even making a diffrence anymore! I didnt feel any diff when i stopped taking it!! But the withdrawls were terrible and i even lower my dose gradually! I am glad i stopped taking it cuz the side effects went away n it wasnt helping anymore anyway!! Side effects i had were wieght gain 60lbs, sweating bad, no sex drive, and i craved sweets bad!! they were bareable when i thought it was helping but so much better now and I have lost 30lbs in 4 month since i stopped YAY:) n no more sweating or sweet cravings at all!!! I would recomend to try it cuz everyone is diff n it has worked great for alot of people!!

When dosage was increased to 60mg was when it really got worse. I have stopped taking it and switched to Pristiq. Same results. Do well at 50mg, but when increased to 100mg, back came the Parkinsonism.
