Are Weak Spells And Excessive Sweating The Withdrawal Symptoms Of Cymbalta?

I am a 81 year old woman. I have been taken off Cymbalta after taking it for a number of years for chronic pain associated with an old neck injury and a dislocated lower back vertebra. My last dose was 25 days ago. I am still having weak spells with excessive sweating some days. Is this still related to withdrawal? I am in good health otherwise. The only medications I take now is synthroid 100mcg,, bystolic 2.5mg, and zantac 150mg. Is there anything I can do for the weak spells, as they are causing me to not be able to do anything but lay down when they occur?

Hi,

As long as the symptoms are a concern of weakness, it may not be due to the medicines that you are taking.

But it can be due to the illness for that you are taking it, functional disorders can cause the fibromyalgia and it could be the cause for the symptom of weakness.

Just try to come out of the stress, exercise is best, control your negative thought stop worrying.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
