Brief Answer: Continious Brain zaps, agitation. tapering of dose Detailed Answer: Hello, Yes. Now you are suffering from Withdrawal syndrome of Duloxetine( Cymbalta). The withdrawal symptoms are dizziness, pins and needles sensations, feeling sick, difficulty sleeping, intense dreams, headache, irritability, sweating, diarrhoea, tremor, agitation or anxiety. Thus You should not suddenly stop taking this medicine. But Withdrawal symptoms are temporary and are not the same as addiction. They can usually be avoided by stopping the medicine gradually, usually over at least two weeks. If you stay off, then the symptoms which i mentioned will be severe.

Please take drugs as your treating doctor prescribed and withdraw the dose by tapering as per his advice. Hope this helps. Please write back for further queries. Wishing you good health.
