My doctor does not believe that going from 60 mg to 30 to zero would cause withdrawal. He acknowledges that an abrupt discontinuance from say, 120 to nothing, would cause withdrawal, but feels the dose I was on was "nothing" and that I must've had the stomach flu. No, he said he's had no other patients go through this. I am hyper-sensitive to side effects so I'm not surprised I am experiencing this -- but I AM surprised he hasn't had ONE other patient who's had any problem going off it?
On your question about what side effects I had while I was on Cymbalta: I was only on it a few weeks and I did not have nausea while on it, but I did have dry mouth and burning/sore tongue that was making me miserable, so I decided to go off it. Little did I know what I was in for!
