Sooooo. Didnt listen to anyone's advice on here and started tapering off my cymbalta about a month aga WITH advice from my pharamacist. I was on 90mg and went down to 60mg fot 2 weeks then 30 for two weeks and im starting my first week on nothing. Tapering was literally fine and i had no withdrawal symptoms basically the whole time... however... I am in hell now

Literally have the worst brain zaps ever where i feel genuinely so dizzy that im scared to stand for too long cuz im scared of falling on my face. Which is bad because I have to work... in a job where i mist stand for 8 hours straight. Also insanely nauseaus and am having hot flashes. Also I have a cold on top of that which... might be a symptom? But idk cuz it's spring and i always have a cold

Anyway... what are some ways I can manage these brain zaps so I can work... is it just a push through and pray situation or does anyone have any remedies that will work...

I dont want to start taking them again because that will just make the whole process even longer and i just want off these damn pills
