HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Unfortunately all medications are associated with potential effects that may or may not occur.
The effects may not decrease with continued use, if they continue, you may need to consider speaking to your doctor about an alternative.

The half life of cymbalta is 12 hours. The half life of a drug is the time it takes for the amount of medication to decrease by half in the body.
Medication is eliminated after 3 to 5 half lives.

I hope this helps
