Cymbalta withdrawals

Question

Asked for Female, 21 Years

I stopped taking 30mg Cymbalta 5 days ago after taking it for 2 months. I don't have a primary care doctor to go to to help me get off the medicine and I don't have any more of the medicine to take. I've been having excruciating headaches with nausea and dizziness. I've also had increased anxiety and heart palpitations that also feel like my eyes are shaking.

don't reduce the medication all of a sudden. you have to reduce gradually. so consult the doctor who had prescribed you and seek for reduced dosage. the symptoms that you have mentioned are common if you stop the medicine all of a sudden
