What Causes Tremors,restlessness And Nausea During Medication For Anxiety?

18. Male. 5'10 215lbs. Stopped taking my cymbalta for depression and anxiety a few weeks back. Just started back up on my dose of 90mg/once daily. I've noticed some strange side effects I have not experienced before . I have more tremors than usual, and have a feeling of restlessness in my arms and legs and feel like I need to stretch all the time. I felt a little nausea earlier, however it has subsided.

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

These all are side effects of duloxetine (cymbalta). That would resolve in few days. It happens due to sudden intake of high dose of duloxetine. Initial dose of duloxetine is 30 mg per day and you should have taken it gradually in form of 30 mg per week up to 90 mg. In future, better to take it in consideration. In case, you need further help, you can ask.

Thanks
