Well cymbalta is known antidepreesant that have unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. Of course, it is individual and depends from man to man. In some people there is no any difficulty but most in those that were taking it for less than 3 months. After 6 motnths some problems are expected and it may include: anxiety and low mood, such as apathy and rebound depression, sleep and digestive disorders, vertigo, dizziness and other.
