Thank you for your question and welcome to AnxietyConnection.com.

You should not stop taking Cymbalta suddenly and should always stop under the supervision of your doctor. Stopping suddenly can cause symptoms of withdrawal, such as:

Dizziness

Nausea

Headaches

Vomiting

Irritability

Nightmares

If you would like to discontinue taking Cymbalta, talk with your doctor about the best way to do this.
