Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am so angry right now! I have been reading about antideppressant withdrawal. I am currently suffering from Cymbalta withdrawal symptoms. How dare doctors (including the one who wrote the article on Health Central) prescribe this drug to your trusting patients when you don t even know how it will affect them. How many people are really helped by being on Cymbalta? Is it enough to suffer the side affects? Is it enough to discount all the people who are trying to get off the drug and are sick as dogs, FOR WEEKS, in the process. How many people are suffering now because of it? Is it hundreds, thousands, millions? Does anyone know? Does anyone care? Do people have to start dying before this stops. If I didn t know better it may be the plot of a hollywood thriller. Major drug company sells doctors on prescribing anti-depressant drug to millions. Problem is they can never stop taking it!!!!! As bad as I feel apparently I am one of the lucky ones. From what I have been reading in my research today others are suffering much worse.
Half life of cymbalta is 12 to 13 hours. In that case, drug would be eliminated from body in 3 days. If you are getting mild withdrawal symptoms, that nothing to worry. It would improve in few days. In case you have severe withdrawal symptoms, you can restart the drug. Rest you can consult your treating psychiatrist.
Thanks
