When stopping treatment with CYMBALTA the dose should be gradually reduced over a period of at least one to two weeks in order to reduce the risk of withdrawal reactions (see sections 4.4 and 4.8). If intolerable symptoms occur following a decrease in the dose or upon discontinuation of treatment, then resuming the previously prescribed dose may be considered.
Jos annoksen pienentämisen jälkeen tai hoidon lopettamisen seurauksena ilmaantuu sietämättömiä oireita voidaan harkita hoidon aloittamista uudelleen aikaisemmin käytetyllä annoksella.
