Antidepressant withd: Antidepressant withdrawal abruptly can produce a severe health problem, with symptoms including nause, vomiting, headache, suicidal thoughts, nightmares, diarrhea, insomnia, anxiety, seizures, etc, etc. Can be 'horrific', or a 'nightmare'. Never stop these drugs abruptly, and always discuss stopping these drugs under the supervision of a physician.

Varies: They can be completely avoided by coming off Cymbalta (duloxetine) in steps under supervision. If you suddenly stop take a high dose, you can develop "discontinuation" symptoms, which can include odd sensations, headaches, flu-like feelings, and gi discomfort. Then you might also have the return of the anxiety, depression, or pain that Cymbalta (duloxetine) was helping with.
