While on Cymbalta I've had brain zaps the week before menstruation. They become more intense and more frequent as I get closer to the first day of menstruation. I've also had brain zaps when my dose of Cymbalta in increased. Also after a dose increase from 60 mg to 90 mg I became much more irritable. So irritable that I've felt like yelling anyone who does even the slightest thing to annoy me. I am not usually like that. Usually I'm very calm. So between the constant brain zaps and the irritability, I am ready to try something else. I've given it a year and a half and I'm not sure it's even helping with depression anymore. I really regret even starting this drug. If I'd known that zaps would be this bad I would not have taken it in the first place. I'm sure tapering off this med is going to be awful. Thanks, Cymbalta. Thanks Eli Lily. Due to your lack of research into these awful side effects, you've made it hard to even function for many people. But you don't care. You've made piles of money off of us.
