Oi! I feel like crap today

These Brain zaps are really getting to me, and I have a terrible headache. The doctor said that this is normal and she gave me a perscription for pain, but it makes me feel SOOoo Sick! I've been taking it for almost a year (painkiller), and now that I am getting off of cymbalta, it make me feel Sick. Any Suggestions?

Im sorry you are feeling this way. I get "brain zaps" when I forget to take my effexor and they are very uncomfortable. Im sorry I dont have any advice, although they will eventually go away. Be good to yourself.

I don't have any suggestions either. I am sorry you're going through this. Hopefully this bump up will find someone with some ideas.

I don't have suggestions either - we are a helpful bunch but I hope you feel better soon. If doc says it's normal I wouldn't worry too much.

Daisy, have you asked your Doc about taking an OTC antihistamine yet? Many people find that they help with the brain zaps a lot. Keep us posted, it does get better

Well today is monday and I feel 10 times better! I still have brain zaps, but they are finally little zips in my head. Not nearly as bad. I was talking with my mom who was a nurse almost all my life, and she thinks I maybe having small seizures because I zone out alot not knowing. And the room shakes in my head, but i don't. I feel much better though. Thanks to all!

pregnant after cymbalta??

Alright... So I quit taking my cymbalta and went through terrible withdrawls, now my period is late. 4 days late to be exact. My question is, has anyone who has quit taking cymbalta ever missed a period?? I took a HPT, but it came out negative. I feel all blah.. achy and definately moody, I've been peeing a whole lot more, but I like to think, it's because I've upped my water intake to try and flush my system out quicker. Any suggestions? I'm mind boggled.
