Hello everyone. I had to fast taper via my doctor from 120mg of Cymbalta in 4 weeks (I have been on 60mg for a year and 120mg for 2 months) due to urinary retention.. I am off the drug right now, but still going through the withdrawal. I can handle the nausea, zaps, headaches, but my blood pressure has been spiking, especially when angered. This is very uncomfortable for me.. the high blood pressure was documented by my nurse, but apparently it was not high enough because they let me leave the office. It's been over a week, and although I still have withdrawal symptoms, my blood pressure is still spiking.. Will it ever stop? It cured my major depression episode, which is great.. but will I live to tell about it?!
