Side effects from taking cymbalta ? You need to wean as you call this off this drug and really for your health please go to a doctor and he can give you meds that will make it very easy to come down off the drug that has bad side effects , and i advise you to go really slow also coming down off this because you are getting bad side effects from the indications you have and this may last a while as far as side effects go and maybe till you get on something new to help you in this condtion And dont stop cold turkey it can hurt you very bad!

The side effects should only last about a month or so...

I would take your pill and cut it in half and take only half for a week - two weeks... then take half a pill every other day.... for a week and then take half a pill every 3-4 days and after two weeks you should be good to go without it.

Cymbalta for chronic nerve & fibromyalgia pain ? Never ever cut this pill in half because of the side effects this causes if you come down off this drug its by the M/G and you drop down slowly this drug can cause bad thoughts and other condtions and Call your doctor at once if you have any new or worsening symptoms such as: mood or behavior changes, anxiety, panic attacks, trouble sleeping, or if you feel impulsive, irritable, agitated, hostile, aggressive, restless, hyperactive more depressed, or have thoughts about suicide or hurting yourself.
