Cymbalta withdrawal?!
Question:
Cymbalta withdrawal?
Has anyone ever just cold turkey stopped taking their cymbalta? My husband did and had become very sick. He thinks it is chicken he ate but I think its his stopped taking the medication. Any experience with this anyone?
Answers:
Oh gosh-- don't quit those drugs cold turkey! You'll feel sick in so many ways-- diarrhea, racing heart, nausea, weakness, dizziness, panic, anxiety-- and lots of other symptoms.
He needs to taper off very slowly, like cutting down by 5mg every few weeks.
Even for me to get off 20mg of Paxil, I had to cut down by 5mg each month. It took me 4 months until I took my last pill, and like another 2 years to feel normal.
