A member asked:
What are common side effects of coming off of cymbalta (duloxetine)? i took 30mg for ~2.5 months. psych said to merely cease taking it. shouldnt i be weaned off?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Flu like symptoms: 30 mg is not a big dose to get off of but a lot of factors effect the discontinuation symptoms. 1 is how long you are on it. 2.5 months is long enough to have symptoms. Why you were on it, are you switching to something else and what. You will know in a few days of stopping it how you will do.Some of the symptoms can be a flu like syndrome, feelings of electric shock, anxiety and mood changes.
