Don't think you'll have any problems with cymbalta as a test
to see if it works for you. A few years ago (3-4) I titrated up on it
and increased the dosage after 2 weeks.
After 2 more weeks (about 4-5 wks total), I found it to be ineffective
and stopped taking it (I might have titrated down for a coupla weeks-can't remember).
I had no problems getting off of it.
None whatsoever.
I think that the problems might arise if you had been taking it
over a long period of time and your body became dependent.
But for the short haul, as a test -I don't think there are any problems.
