Withdrawal Symptoms When Cymbalta,Diazepam,Amitryptiline And Fentalyn Are Discontinued

What type of withdrawal symptoms would you expect to find in a patient who is denied access to her daily prescription of - 90 mg Cymbalta - 30 mg Diazepam - 40 mg Amitryptiline - 50 mg Fentalyn patch for a period of 30 hours? Also, would3 days without sleep exacerbate the situation and, if so, in what way? Thanks

hi,
This will be a huge mistake. This is going to trouble the patient a lot as stopping all the drugs at a time is going to produce agitation, anxiety, palpitations, sleeplessness, headache and worsening of depression; worst case, suicidal tendency may usurp any mental balance.
All these needs tapering when they want to be stopped.
hope this helped.
