Cymbalta use, and the symptoms can be intense. Cymbalta withdrawal symptoms include:SeizuresSuicidal thoughtsDizziness, nausea, or vomitingIrritabilityNightmaresPanic attacksBrain fogMuscles achesSexual dysfunctionHeadachesUsers of Cymbalta can experience these symptoms over the course of weeks or even months and may linger even after Cymbalta use is completely stopped.8 These discomforts can persist regardless of how long it takes for Cymbalta to physically leave the system. The CNS and the entire body will need to correct neurotransmitter dysfunction, nutritional deficiencies and imbalances, and get back to normal for these symptoms to abate. Again, if you decide to stop using Cymbalta, begin a gradual reduction for safety.Understanding Long-Term Side Effects of Cymbalta UseMedications impact everyone differently. The list of long-term effects of Cymbalta continues to grow as more users report the ill effects they’ve experienced over time.9Antidepressant drug addiction, though rare, is on the rise according to research that is ongoing on the topic.10 A person can develop a dependency on the way Cymbalta makes them feel. This dependency can also lead to the development of severe negative effects as well as potentially life-threatening cessation symptoms if a person tries to quit using Cymbalta too abruptly, and without proper guidance.Much data on the long-term effects of Cymbalta and other antidepressants is derived from studies on rats, guinea pigs, and other animals, where 21 days is considered “long-term”. Research published in the International Journal of Risk and Safety in Medicine shows that on careful study, neither SSRIs nor SNRIs actually provided benefits over long-term use (months or years) to patients. The long-term effects of antidepressants are severely under-studied and rarely reported in the medical literature. The FDA lists many potential long-term effects on the package label and advises the medication to be discontinued if these emerge. Patients with cardio concerns should steer away from drugs such as SSRIs and SNRIs that may affect the heart adversely.12-15Cymbalta side effects when taken long term can include:AddictionDependenceSeizuresSuicidal thoughts or behaviorsMania, hypomaniaJaundiceLiver failureAbnormal bleeding, especially when NSAIDs or aspirin are taken concurrentlySevere renal impairmentUrinary hesitation, and retentionHyponatremia (low sodium levels in the blood)Severe weight gainCardiotoxicity issues: tachycardia, QT prolongation, blood pressure
