I haven't taken Cymbalta but isn't that an SNRI? If you discontinued it suddenly I would expect to have some withdrawal effects since Viibryd is an SSRI and should not boost norepinephrine like Cymbalta does.

When I've had withdrawals from AD's, the withdrawals tended to last months, not days. So I would not be the least surprised if Cymbalta withdrawal is what is going on.

Stopping from 30 mg is considered "cold turkey," it isn't much of a taper from 60.

Personally I did take 60mg of cymbalta when new. Dropped to 30mg and then for a few days puts some beads in a capsule. Didn't have a problem and then started luvox again. Cymbalta was good for back pain as when stopped It I realized I had back pain. Phillipa
