I'm no expert, but I'm trying to get off it myself. It is--in effect--out of my system almost entirely. I am feeling the effects of that. One thing to keep in mind is that the brain chemistry is affected. Withdrawal from a drug that produces stimulation and altertness--including SSRIs like prozac--is likely to produce fatique and dullness for awhile. I don't know how long this lasts... but the brain has to get used to a new normal, and things may be uncomfortable for awhile.

Will you lose weight from taking Cymbalta?
Any antidepressant can make you gain weight. but only a certain percentage of people will gain weight on an antidepressant. Cymbalta is not one of the worst, Paxil and Remeron would be. It is thought that a long term weight gain of a couple of pounds typically, like 1-2% of your body weight (2-5 pounds) can be expected, but benefits generally greatly outweigh the risks, and that more people DON'T gain weight while taking an antidepressant than the other way around. On the other hand, some psychiatrists tell their patients that weight gain is an expected side effect of antidepressants due to changes their metabolism, and that weight gain is experienced by most of her patients. Personal experience: I have gained weight on all of the antidepressants I have tried (and there have been many). My internal medicine doctor told me that weight gain is expected on antidepressant drugs, including Cymbalta. It is true that some people don't gain weight but they are in the minority. For the majority of those who do gain weight, it isn't 1-2% of your body weight, but significantly higher. I have never gained less than 20 pounds despite maintaining a diet of around 1000 calories a day and exercising 5-6 times a week. Of course, if you are in the abyss it is worth the weight gain, but, know what you are getting yourself into.

How long does it take Cymbalta to leave your system?
Cymbalta side effects/symptoms after stopping it, even low dosage, can be quite unpleasant and frightening. Those so called "zaps" in the head that some people have discussed online, can continue for quite a while. I consider it a drug not to be used unless absolutely necessary and even then recommend you be monitored closely. Not so impressed! The price of this drug is outragious!

It can take anywhere form a few days to months. It really depends on how long you where taking cymbalta. If you took it for a month there might not be any withdrawal but if you took it for 6 months to a year it can take weeks even longer.
