Is cymbalta (duloxetine) 30mg addicting?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Cymbalta (duloxetine) is not an addictive medication but if abused may lead and result in the classic cycle of addiction for a long period of time. Cymbalta (duloxetine) should always be tapered down and not stopping abruptly.
