I was taking those time back Dr 60 mg capsules for carpal tunnel in my hands. After 2 days the pains in my hands was gone but the back of my neck started hurting and rapidly the pain became so severe that I could not move my head. I thought it might break in half ! I kept taking it for 10 days but the pain was so intense I called the pharmacist and asked if i could take Advil liqui-gels instead of the cymbalta. He said yes. I stopped the cymbalta and just took Advil. NO ONE TOLD ME NOT TO STOP TAKING IT BUT WEAN OFF IT. I am going through hell from the pain. I have to sit perfectly still for 30 minutes until the advil kicks in so I can get up to go to the bathroom. April 4th is when I stopped cymbalta. The pains are getting worse. Now it has moved to the left side of my neck and shoulder and increasing in pain. HOW LONG DO SIDE EFFECTS LAST WHEN YOU STOP COLD TURKEY ???
