Head symptoms - Head symptoms are a very common side effect of Cymbalta. The side effects might include dizziness, an electrical zap feeling in the head, kind of a whirling sensation. For head symptoms you need to take the correct type of omega 3 fish oil. Sorry, not all fish oil works for Cymbalta head symptoms even though they might be a good brand of fish oil. Omega 3 Supreme is the correct type to take. Take 3 softgels in the morning and 3 softgels at noon. As soon as the head symptoms disappear you can reduce the Omega 3 Supreme down to 1 softgel in the morning and 1 softgel at noon. It usually only takes a few hours for the Omega 3 Supreme to work.

Daytime Anxiety - Some people will experience daytime anxiety the moment they reduce Cymbalta or it can be a Cymbalta side effect even without reducing the Cymbalta. A supplement called Relax Day should be used for daytime anxiety. This is a liquid supplement and you would take 1 teaspoon every 2 to 4 hours. Relax Day generally brings relief in a manner of minutes after taking.

Insomnia - You are not alone of the Cymbalta has caused insomnia. If you have daytime anxiety as well, the insomnia may be caused by the anxiety during the day. You can choose between Relax Night With Melatonin or Relax Night Melatonin Free. The Relax with melatonin is a little stronger. Relax Night is also in liquid form. Take 1 teaspoon 15-minutes before bedtime.

Nausea - Try drinking a couple of cups of ginger tea.

Fatigue - If the Cymbalta has you completely fatigued, use a supplement called Admax. Take 2 to 4 capsules each day.

JNK Capsules - Cymbalta as well as other antidepressants cause an over activation of a gene in our cells called JNK. The over activation of the JNK gene has been traced to most Zoloft withdrawal side effects. Take 3 JNK capsules in the morning and 3 JNK capsules at noon. If you have side effects not listed above, take the JNK capsules.

Again, we do not sell or distribute vitamins. The vitamins recommend with our program can be found at TRB Health. If you are from Canada, Europe, Great Britain or Australia, click here for a list of distributors in those locations. 

Note: If you are taking Cymbalta as well as an anti-anxiety medication (benzodiazepine), the anti-anxiety medication must be discontinued first. If you are only discontinuing the Cymbalta the Cymbalta must be reduced very slowly to prevent withdrawal side effects from the anti-anxiety drug. Cymbalta slows the metabolism rate of anti-anxiety drugs and when the Cymbalta is removed from the system the anti-anxiety medication will not take as long to metabolize and this creates a withdrawal effect from the anti-anxiety medication. See chapter 9 on the right side of each page for anti-anxiety medication procedures.

In May 2012, our program made its next leap forward and at this time; completely eliminating Cymbalta side effects is not only within our grasp, it is here.

Anxiety in the daytime, insomnia at night, the dreaded head symptoms common with Cymbalta withdrawal can now be a thing of the past.

There is quite a bit of information on our web site and if the ill effects from Cymbalta have you unable to read very much text, we can make this very quick and simple.

For head symptoms, even the electric brain zaps, taking the right type of omega 3 fish oil will eliminate them quickly. Take (3) Omega 3 Supreme in the morning and (3) more at noon. The best omega 3 fish oil we have found to use can be found at TRB Health, Omega 3 Supreme. Link is provided below.

If you have nausea, drink a couple cups of ginger tea each day.

If you have insomnia, take a supplement called Relax Night With Melatonin or Relax Night Melatonin Free. The one with melatonin is stronger. (You would take 1 teaspoon 15-minutes before bedtime)

If you have daytime anxiety, take Relax Day. (Take 1 teaspoon every 2 to 4 hours during the daytime)

All of the Relax supplements are in a liquid formula and they work very fast.

A supplement called JNK Capsules was formulated to help reduce the over activation of a gene called JNK. The over activation of the JNK gene is the cause of antidepressant induced weight gain, diabetes and a host of Cymbalta side effects.
