What Does Cymbalta Do To The Brain?

Across the globe, doctors write prescriptions to patients without informing them what the long-term effects of Cymbalta are, or what will happen when discontinuing Cymbalta. The medication is given for a wide range of symptoms — from depression to pain from nerve damage.

How to Discontinue Cymbalta Safely
Cymbalta (duloxetine) is a medication that is usually given to treat issues of depression. Regardless of the reason for being prescribed Cymbalta, it’s important that when an individual decides to discontinue any medication, they are also incorporating an alternative treatment to address any underlying issues.

Cymbalta brain zaps, dizziness, nausea, brain zaps, and fatigue are other commonly reported Cymbalta withdrawal effects. Cymbalta withdrawal may be experienced either when attempting to discontinue Cymbalta or, in some cases, in between doses — known as interdose withdrawal. Interdose-withdrawal most commonly occurs where drugs have a relatively short half-life, and withdrawal symptoms can emerge some hours after a dose is taken.

So many people have been negatively affected by quitting Cymbalta that the term Cymbalta Discontinuation Syndrome is used commonly to classify the symptoms associated with withdrawal. If the symptoms become too much to handle at home, many attend healing centers for Cymbalta withdrawal.

Cymbalta is an SNRI (serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor). For those who are reliant on Cymbalta long-term, the possibility of a serotonin deficiency exists. In order to effectively treat any long-term effects of Cymbalta, focusing on potential underlying causes is important. Reviewing potential underlying causes with a specialist can also help to ensure the treatment plan is accurate to address individual needs and characteristics.

An investigation to determine any underlying causes that may be contributing to an individual’s symptoms should include questions such as:

Have hormones and nutritional elements been tested for deficiencies?
Has the diet been upgraded sufficiently?
Have alcohol and recreational drugs been ruled out or discontinued?
Have food allergies been tested for that could be causing psychiatric or physical symptoms?
Has situational stress contributed to symptoms? Has counseling such as CBT been utilized?
Is there an accumulation of neurotoxins, such as heavy metals, which are contributing to symptoms such as anxiety, psychosis, or depression?
By reviewing factors such as these and others, with a professional, the individual is able to pinpoint and resolve or eliminate many obstacles to wellness.

So far Cymbalta is really helping me. I have missed one dose tho and boy was I sick. It was horrible but as long as I don’t miss a dose I am feeling so much better than I did without cymbalta

Have been on pre gablin for many years now and after having to do much looking myself i find that it actually can cause the bad lower leg pitting edema from which i have had probs with for the past couple of years on top of the pain it was prescribed for.
Not 1 medical professional has ever even mentioned that pre gablin is well known for this and it took me a bit of looking into it after all tests came back normal as to the cause.
After so many years of my daily life becoming more challenging i have lost any faith in the entire western allopathic approach.
I have reduced from 200mg 3 x per day to 1 x 200mg at bedtime.
I am also on 30mg of cymbalta after an old friend who is passed now told me of the benefits he felt as he had same medical probs as me mostly so i am going to get off this cr^p asap. In my mid 50's now and i am not ending up in some home due to meds damage.

This drug has changed my life for the better! I was so focused and driven as well as not thinking about how miserable I am in my own mind daily. However, getting off of it made me sick for a month and a half! Constant brain zaps, sick, flu like symptoms, and depression! Not safe for pregnant women from recent data. Who knows maybe that could change.

I use Cymbalta on and off, as I need it, it tends to give me a bit of a lift, their are better drugs out there, but where not allowed to play with them due to legal restrictions, I find it's always good to have periods of drug free use, as it gives the body and mind time to adapt, must admit Cymbalta for all it's faults is good stuff, and at the end of the day there is no pleasing some people, better to find out things for one self,

[CaptainCajun]

Starting cymbalta today for motor sensory neuropathy. I been pushing it off for a while, but pain became unbearable.

All this Cymbalta bashing. All I know is that TWICE I have TRIED to get off it. Did not have any withdrawl symptoms, ie brain zaps, headache, but my POST STROKE PAIN came back with a VENGEANCE. I cannot live with the pain.
