There should be an obvious warning ON THE BOTTLE regarding the complications of withdrawal from Cymbalta. Something like: "DO NOT STOP TAKING THIS MEDICATION ABRUPTLY" I'm looking at the bottle right now... there is a warning "do not drink alcoholic beverages", "may cause dizziness", "may cause drowsiness". Nothing about withdrawal. Even missing one days dose by accident can cause near hypopsychosis. Psychiatrists and prescribers should be forced to warn patients of the severity of withdrawal symptoms. It sounds like most people abstaining from this medication had no idea what they were in for. Many of us should be awarded compensation for our unwitting suffering.
