What Are The Withdrawal Symptoms Of Cymbalta?

I was taking 60 mg of cymbals for 12 years and recently discontinued it. If I resume taking it, will it be a problem in any way? The symptoms of withdrawal have been miserable, but after 8 weeks off the drug, pain problems have increased. YYYY@YYYY

Hello,
It will not be a problem, but your doctor may want to start you at a lower dose and go up. Anytime you go off a drug like that it is better to do a very slow taper off to avoid side effects.
