What Do You Suggest For Headaches And Heart Paltpations?

Hi I am a 60 yr. old woman that has taken anti depressants for approx 12 years. I have asked my dr. about withdrawing from cymbalta a little. I was taking 60 ml. once daily. On thurs. this past week I started taking 30 ml. which was suggested to take. I have a headache that wont go away. Plus I am having heart. paltpations. I am feeling weird. I had top get off Xanax before and I am feeling that way again. Are these symptoms usual?

Hello,
Some antidepressants like cymbalta can cause withdrawl symptoms. The symptoms are most probably due to lowering the doses of cymbalta. Usually these symptoms wean off in around 1 weeks. But it these symptoms persist, you should take again 60mg. Withdraw from the drug more slowly.
Thanks.
