normal withdrawal symptoms for cymbalta?

My mom thinks that my heart palpitations are due to cymbalta (which I am taking for anxiety), which I just started taking a few days ago. Before that, I took lexapro for over two years.  I've only been on cymbalta for 10 days and I skipped yesterday because my mom insists that's what's causing my chest pains and heart palpitations. I cried myself to sleep last night and I can't stop crying right now but I have no reason to at all. I also have thoughts of suicide over the most inane, trivial confrontations that normally wouldn't faze me at all, and at the same time, I'm completely aware of how stupid and unfounded those thoughts are because there's no reason I should have them. Are these normal withdrawal symptoms for someone who's been taking the medication for only 10 ten days?

I'm not familar with cymbalta but if it's anything like prozac then yes it could very well be causing your palpitations.  When I quit taking prozac I got them more frequently.  If its causing you to be uncomfortable you should go to the doc.
