Best Answer

You should be withdrawing from Cymbalta as gradually as possible. You should expect to spend a couple of weeks at each lower dose, at an absolute minimum you should be spending a few weeks at 30mg before stopping altogether. If you are withdrawing too quickly and you cannot cope with the effects of withdrawal then you should go back to your doctor and arrange to withdraw more slowly. Once you have Cymbalta back in your system the withdrawal effects should subside.

Over 20 lawsuits have been filed in federal courts across the US which sees claims that Lilly deliberately omitted information about the true risk of withdrawal in the product label and in marketing materials.

According to the LA law firm Baum Hedlund, the label wrongly claims that Cymbalta only has a 1% withdrawal risk, when in actual fact Cymbalta studies show a much higher risk rate - between 44% to 50% withdrawal risk!

Do you have to wean off lexapro to start taking Cymbalta?

Cymbalta is an SNRI, meaning it increases both serotonin and norepinephrine, while lexapro is an SSRI, meaning it increases only serotonin. These drugs that inhibit the reuptake of neurotransmitters MUST BE SWITCHED GRADUALLY. If switching from cymbalta to lexapro, the physician should induce a "step-down" therapy on the cymbalta while inducing a "step-up" therapy on lexapro. This ensures a level amount of drug in the blood, and minimizes the chance of recurrence and adverse effects.

Can you take hydrocodone and Cymbalta together and is Cymbalta addictive?

Yes and yes. You can take hydrocodone (vicodin) and cymbalta together. Also, each of them, taken alone or combined on a regular basis, cause physical addiction, so stopping either or both will result in withdrawal symptoms. WARNING/PLEASE NOTE: Just because it's okay to take vicodin and cymbalta together doesn't mean it is okay to take any and all opiates with cymbalta. For example, you can NOT take tramadol (ultram) and cymbalta together. tramadol is not an opiate its opiod like- very different. and they can be taken together at low dosage ranges under MD supervision. Its not recommended however. the top paragraph is correct cymbalta is not a controlled substance (other than being prescription) and does not carry the potential for abuse in the vast majority of people
