"i don&#039;t feel like this made too much of a difference and was prescribed to replace zoloft which i believe was better but made me gain a lot of weight. getting off of cymbalta was very hard, although i followed my doctors instructions and decreased very gradually, by the end i had to start taking motion sickness pills due to the dizziness and nausea i experienced from the withdrawals. i also experienced headaches and felt like my eyes would cross every time i took a step. getting onto it was super easy, i went from 60mg-120mg pretty quickly, and i lowered it from 120-90-60-30 over the course of about 2 months and still dealt with these withdrawal effects.
