I started having panic/ anxiety attacks back in April. I had been taking Cymbalta for 20 years. My new pain management doctor decided to take me off Cymbalta (cold turkey) and start Zoloft 50 mg 8 weeks ago. He told me that the 2 drugs were in the same class which I later found out they aren’t. I am in worse shape now than I was before starting the Zoloft. I am having constant anxiety and I have no appetite. Could this be a result of stopping the Cymbalta without tapering off? I need answers please. TIA
