Cymbalta Dependence
If you stop taking Cymbalta suddenly, it may lead to some withdrawal symptoms. These include dizziness, excessive sweating, headache, lack of energy, anxiety, irritability, diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, and prickling or burning sensation around the legs, feet, or arms. Therefore, it is not advisable to stop taking the medication abruptly. To help reduce the risk, you should talk with the doctor to reduce the dosage gradually. The length of time would depend on many factors, such as the condition you are treating and the dosage you are taking. On the other hand, if you take Cymbalta in the long run, it would increase the risk of drug dependence. However, more research is needed to verify this link. [5]
