What Causes Muscle Twitches After Missing A Dose Of Cymbalta?
I took Zoloft for yrs but decided to try Cymbalta. I skipped a dose and am now having muscle twitches. I ve experienced this before with electrolyte imbalance and ended up in the hospital. The side effects of Cymbalta has me very concerned. I took Zoloft for yrs and yrs and wonder if I should switch back. Thank you for any feedback.

Hello,
Muscle twitches can happen with Cymbalta and it is important that you let your doctor know right away when this happens. There may be other causes for the muscle tremors but it is important to rule out side effects of Cymbalta and have a thorough examination and probably some tests to verify which is the cause and which is the best treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
