Just Stopped Taking 30mg Cymbalta

Well I have being hearing horror stories about this drug. I consulted with my doctor and he said if a person is taking 30mg you have to stop cold turkey. There is NO weaning off this drug from 30mg. So, today I am 3 days off of it. The first day was absolutely fine. Day two I started experiencing swooshing sounds that were coming and going throughout the day. Today still hearing swooshing sounds and my eyes feel like there moving rapidly back and forth. Also, I'm having heart palpitations! This drug is no joke! I intend to keep you guys updated on my progress every couple of days.

There is a 20mg dosage available that he could've had you switch to and to taper from it, the usual preferred method is to have someone start slowly lengthening the time between doses, according to the NIH. You can wean off any medication and that is the best way to stop taking one.

How are you doing, now? Has there been any change?

Other withdrawal effects, as listed by the FDA may include nausea, dizziness, headache, and diarrhea.
