Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Duloxetine / Cymbalta can be continued before and even on the day of surgery as stopping the medicine can cause a withdrawal reaction. Do consult your surgeon regarding this.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
