Brain zaps
Dear All. A week ago I have stopped my therapy with Cymbalta. I have anxiety's problems. I have took off the medication in 3 months from 60 mg to 5 mg....to 0 mg!! Now I'ts a week that i have brain zaps...here in Italy all the psichiatrists I have asked..Say that it's an anxiety's symptom. I know that it's not real...because in all the time that I have not took antidepressants...I haven't had IT!!... What can i do to exceed this effect of suspension?...Thank you!!
Dear cj29 I have stopped in 3 months...from 60 mg...to 30 mg..to 15 mg..to 10 mg..to 5 mg...to 0. Now I know I must wait other two weeks to see the disappearence of brain zaps and other symptoms. I'm on the supervision of my doctor here in Italy... Thank you so much for your support.
Some people actually complain about symptoms like you describe when coming off certain medications. How fast did you come off of it? I assume that you did it under a doctor's supervision. The good thing, in my opinion, is that side effects from starting, adjusting, or stopping your dosage will get MUCH better with time....keep us posted.
