What Are the Problems With Discontinuing Cymbalta?
Well-tolerated when compared to other serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors used to treat depression and anxiety, Cymbalta also does not pose the risk of cardiovascular side effects as others may, according to Dr. Stephen M. Stahl and colleagues in the September 2005 review published in “CNS Spectrums.” Health care providers prescribe Cymbalta for the treatment of depression, anxiety and chronic pain due to diabetic neuropathy or fibromyalgia. The prescriber of Cymbalta will slowly decrease the dose to avoid abrupt withdrawal.
