A member asked:
I've been on cymbalta (duloxetine) 3 weeks and want to go off it. will i get withdrawal symptoms or it hasn't been long enough to get them?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Symptoms can occur: It is highly desirable for the dose to be tapered rather than stopped suddenly. The brain needs some time to adapt to the medication not being there and it is better for this to happen gradually. Three weeks would usually be long enough for the medication to have had sufficient effect to make tapering recommended. The actual taper may not need to be very long, just not a sudden stopping.
