Hi Susie,
Seek the help of your physician to stop taking Cybalta. You don't want to stop taking it "cold turkey," as this can cause unwanted side effects such as dizziness, nausea, headache, etc... Your physician can help you slowly taper off the medication to try to avoid these side effects. I would recommend that you consult a Psychiatrist...who may or may not prescribe a different medication for you.
Regards,
Dr. Jennifer Fee
