How Can Profuse Sweating Be Treated Caused By Weaning Off Cymbalta While Receiving Treatment For RSD?
Cymbalta discontinuation syndrome- I weaned off 120 mg or 60 mg 2x a day under Drs orders. Began having profuse sweating then shiver shudders. Next sx was tip of tongue/ word recall issues. I am being treated for RSD and we discussed a different drug as SE of Cymbalta were too much. Now I have pain shooting up fingers and walking on feet hurts. Is there not a safer way to come off this. What happens if I stop the next 60mg as I did after only my 2nd week. Can I get so ill Ill die or need to be hospitalized? The wd is horrible. I thought it was menopause but the sweating I have been having for 2 years is now exponentially compounded along with new things.
hi thanks for using health care magic. cymbalta discontinuation syndrome - you can tapper down your cymbalta by 50% every 3 days and next 3 days you can stop it, but you have more withdrawal symptom so in my opinion you should taper more slowly. if stop suddenly then you will feel symptom you are facing now, but death due to its withdrawal is not reported. hope it help you. thanks.
