I have been taking generic Cymbalta 20 mg for 2 weeks. The doctor who prescribed it for me will not return my phone calls and wants me to wait 3 weeks to see her. Since taking Cymbalta, I have had kidney pain and pain in the area of my liver. Yesterday, my urine was dark brown. Today I was really dazed at work, which requires me to be mentally and intellectually alert. I only have 9 capsules left. Can I just quit cold turkey or do I need to taper? I know my anxieties will come back but I feel better battling them rather than this drug. The nurse practitioner prescribed them to me with absolutely no questions as to medical history, etc. I have kidney stones and read that if you have kidney problems, you should not be taking this drug.
I would appreciate any help or suggestions.
