Brief Answer: Better to go to the ER. Detailed Answer: Hello, Thanks for your query, I understand your concern and feel sorry for your situation. I strongly advice you to go to the ER since you are suffering so much. Yes Cymbalta withdrawal can cause severe headaches and nausea and it does need medical help often. Surely this phase will pass, but I don't see any point in needless suffering, so it is best for you to go to the ER and get yourself treated properly. Hope this helps you, if you need further assistance, please feel free to write back to me. Wishing you speedy recovery. Regards.

Brief Answer: Better to ask someone to drive you to the ER. Detailed Answer: Hi, Thanks for the follow up. It is better to let someone to drive you to the ER and back, I suspect you might get a shot of sedative of painkiller that can cause some drowsiness. So it is preferable to let someone else drive you. Hope that answers you question. Thank you for using our services. All the best. Kind regards
