I was on cymbalta for a while for nerve pain and i ended up switching meds i was weaned off and i had no issues. I believe the key is to wean off slowly and steady until you are off it, when the time comes, and as long as you do it with dr supervision you should be ok. I hope that helps in some way

I admit however I did just stop taking it .. Because.. Well I forgot!
I didn't think it helped either.
I did not have any effects from stopping it that I noticed.
But it is recomend to ween.

I don't think it's so much withdrawl, but stoping it suddenly can cause serious issues. So tapering is something that should have been done.

I have been on cymbalta for four years and feel it helps my fibro. It also helped the depression I was experiencing even though that is not why it prescribe. (Great side effect!) I can't speak to withdrawal symptoms, but like any drug it may require tapering off. I just recently went off diclofene due to ulcers. Withdrawal has not been fun! It has been a setback for sure.

I have taken it 9 years for my fibromyalgia. I did not know if it was working until I had to get off of it before a surgery. I found out it does help...YIKES!!!! I have heard stories that it is extremely hard to come off of it also.
