I've only been on Cymbalta 20mg since January. We decided that it wasn't for me and I'm supposed to taper off now. So I went from 20mg to nothing (technically i'm supposed to cross taper to Lexapro, but I wanted to be off of this first for a few days) and after two days of not taking Cymbalta I feel bad fatigue and nausea. I couldn't stand it anymore so I just took a 20mg Cymbalta again. Also to make sure that my symptoms are from the withdrawal and not something else.

Anyway, I wanted to know how long it will take after me taking the pill to stop the withdrawal symptoms.

Thanks.

Depends on too many factors - like your body type, how long you've been on the meds, what dosage, how your body metabolizes it... the best thing to do is to talk to whomever prescribed them to you.

Going cold turkey off of meds can be absolutely brutal and should be avoided if possible.
