I was on Cymbalta for 3 months about a year ago. At first I couldn't tell the effects but later things got better. On my last visit I told the doctor I was okay and didn't think I needed it anyomore. Once it was out of my system I felt bad again. I went back to the dr. again and asked to be put back on it and he did. The first time I started of on 30 mg. and progressed to 60. This time I was started off with 60. Does this make a difference? And since I had trouble after the first time will I have to remain of these meds for years? I would have asked my dr. but these questions just occured to me. Any answers guys? Thanks.

Having had a similar experience, I would give it a year, and see what the doc thinks about weaning you off. It is not good to stop it "cold turkey," and your doctor should be advised when and if you change your dosing. He will help you out.

I've been taking Duloxetine/Cymbalta for approximately four/five years now for Major Depressive Disorder. I have not suffered any longer term aspect results, rather then fatigue and mild dizziness. Your signs sound fairly extreme! It would not shock me if what you are experiencing is NOT concerning this therapy.
