"i have been using cymbalta for over a year now.  i have since discontinued.  the withdrawals are awful... brain zaps, nausea, dizziness, sweats, fever, body aches all over.  i have also gained 10 to 15 lbs since taking this medication.  i am active and do not eat crazy.  this medication worked at first but the side effects are awful.  i want to start a family and it&#039;s time for me to ween off my medicines.
