Patient: Hi I have been on Cymbalta for 3 weeks at 30mg. I was told to stop this drug due to side effects . I am now on day 4 . Still having dreadful headaches, nausea, dizzyness, nigfhtmares unable to walk to bathroom without help!! How much longer till this drug is out of my system?

Doctor: Hi,

Thanks for using health.is.edu !

Who told you to stop this drug?

I would call the doctor who prescribed this to you to see if they can see you. Withdraw can last up to two weeks but should get less severe each day. If you are so severe and your prescribing doctor can not see you today you may need to be seen at the hospital. Continue reading I have been on Cymbalta for 3 weeks at 30mg.→

Doctor:
Hi Mandy. Thank you for asking your question on health.is.edu .

Do you mean Amyoplasia?
Amyoplasia is a sub-group of a condition called Athrogryposis Multiplex Congenita

I would recommend two Hospitals with AMC clinics:

NYC Hospital for Joint Diseases, Center for Children, Athrogryposis Clinic

and

Seattle Children’s Hospital- Arthrogryposis Clinic Quarterly

Dr. Judith Hall is a geneticist who has done extensive research on Arthrogryposis currently sees patients at Seattle Children’s Hospital’s Clinic.

Good luck to you

Patient: I am currently under the care of a psychiatrist and take Wellbutrin (100mg)and Topomax (75mg). However, in the past three days I have been having, not exactly suicidal thoughts (at least not actively), but just wanting to be “gone” forever, not wake up ever, hating everyone, extreme rage, etc. I am really not sure if I should just wait and see if this goes away – I’ve episodes before but this seems to be much worse. I’m not really sure why I’m writing except I’m beginning to be afraid of my possible actions right now and there’s no one to talk to here.
