Do Not Stop Abruptly: You need to call prescriber of your Cymbalta (duloxetine) and let them know. Cymbalta (duloxetine) can actually cause constipation too so it may not even be what is causing the diarrhea - which could be from a number of other things. Either way, stopping Cymbalta (duloxetine) abruptly is usually not advised unless another similar medication is being substituted.
