SSRI type drugs increase bleeding tendencies. Are you taking aspirin or NSAIDs now? They also do.

But coming off the Cymbalta should not cause nose bleeds.

Do you have dry nasal passages? Could you have Sjogren's?

This bleeding, could be that, just needing saline spray. But then if all those immune suppressing drugs you took before depressed your platelet count then minor irritations in the nose would bleed easily. Nose bleeds can come from sinus infections, hypertension, and also sores that develop in the nose over time from irritations or infections. If you were NOT prone to nose bleeds before, I'd focus on this symptom if it is new.
