Hi PC!
It makes more sense to me to switch the way your doc instructed you to do it. I don't think I should go any days with zero Effexor or Cymbalta. Do I take this into my own hands to avoid any possible discontinuation problems? Hmmmm.
Thanks lots!

> Hi, I was on 150mg of Effexor Xr. My p-doc had me take 30mg of Cymbalta at night, and half the Effexor dose (75mg) for one week. I just started the second week at 60mg of Cymbalta, and 37.5mg of Effexor. The anxiety is unpleasant, but the Cymbalta is already working for me, so I'm sticking with it.
> I'm also on 300mg Wellbutrin XL, Ambien 10mg for sleep, and .5mg Xanax for the anxiety.
> I'm pretty hopeful!
