Does Stopping 'Cymbalta' Lead To Headaches,dizziness And Body Pains?
Hi, I have been on 120 mg of Cymbalta for the past few years for fibromyalgia. I have been out of my medication for the past 5 days. I have not been feeling well. I refilled my prescription by mail over a week ago and have been waiting for the refill. I called caremark today and it apparently was re-routed to the wrong post office. I should expect it n a few days. I am getting bad headaches, dizziness and body pains. Could this be a reaction for stopping this medication completely. Please advise.

Hello.The symptoms that you have are due to abruptly stop intake the drug.
If your doctor considers appropriate to decrease the dose of the drug, it must be done slowly (30 to 30 mgr).
I wish you good health.
