Diabetologist 's  Response
Cymabalta (duloxetine) is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor and is used as an antidepressant. You have been on this medication for only about a month. Withdrawal symptoms are unlikely to develop when used for around 4 weeks or less.
I wouldn't expect any withdrawal symptoms or if it happens, then it would be mild. I hope the above information solves your query. Thanks for posting your question on healthcaremagic. Have a great day.
