Here's how to get off it.
Don't plan a timeframe.
Empty a capsule. Remove some of the beads inside. 10 beads is approximately 1mg. So now you can reduce from 30mg to 29mg to 25mg or whatever rate is acceptable to you. Either take the capsule, minus the removed bead amount, or sprinkle you dose of beads on applesauce or something soft and swallow without chewing.
The beads are enteric coated so you don't want to chew them. They don't know the difference whether they are inside a capsule or not.
I've taken doses of Cymbalta as low as 1mg by counting beads.
