Ohh , new Dr yanked me off Cymbalta yesterday once he saw me pass out in his office , head and face went numb , blam , passed flat out, thankfully on the bed...

It's been a weird ride.. Now dealing with lack of coordination , vertigo , concentration issues , ataxia...ughhh , ER nurses say it's not Wernieke and the brain MRI and catscans look good...Hoping it's just acombination of some messed up stuff...hate it whatever it may be ..

Yhink one of the initial side effects of Cymbalta was light headedness and fainting , which I hope is tied to a weird arse gait..Trying not to freak out here ..

Getting off Cymbalta was one of the worst experiences of my life!!!
Google Cymbalta and 'brain zaps'. It was a terrible, terrible experience.
Of coarse I'm not suggesting you don't follow your doctors instructions, I'm juss sayin' to beware and inform yourself on that medication. It's a doozy!
