i have been weaning myself off my crazy meds for ab a month now. i havent taken cymbalta 30mg in a week now and im down to 100mg lamictal from 200mg and have been doing this for 2 wks
ive started getting this swishing noise when ever i turn my head. yesterday it got really bad and i couldnt do a thing.
does anyone know if this is a normal reaction.
and is there anyway to ease these symtoms other than go back on the meds.
my doctor wont talk to me abt this as he doesnt want me to go off these meds. so ive no help from him.
thanks for any help you can give me.

For goodness' sake, DON'T TRY TO STOP TAKING THOSE TWO DRUGS AT ONCE!!

I take both Lamictal and Cymbalta. The Lamictal is for seizures and the Cymbalta for depression. Lamictal is an *extremely* sensitive drug. Any change, even a change in diet, will affect how much stays in your bloodstream. Leave yourself on that for at least a month after you get completely off the Cymbalta. It is, however, a lot less intrusive to your system than Cymbalta, so you should stay on that one longer than on the Cymbalta. Lots of people have trouble with Cymbalta withdrawal, so you want to go off it slowly. Google "Cymbalta withdrawal" for descriptions of the worst symptoms. And whatever you do, don't let anyone prescribe you Effexor. I've been through that withdrawal, and it's worse.

You really don't want to play around with Lamactal. Get back on good terms with your doctor.
There are seizure risks involved with stopping or weaning from Lamactal. The swishing noise may be a heads-up.

I am having the same swishing noises. It would happen if I forgot to take my Cymbalta and now that I have weaned off of it (a week ago I completed the weaning) I am still having those noises no other side effects just the noises! It's driving me nuts!
