In reply to How to stop Cymbalta??, posted by sac on December 12, 2005, at 5:41:11
The only thing I can think of would be to try tapering it like I tapered Tofranil (docs orders)..since I was having cardiovascular issues with the Tofranil, the taper was pretty fast. It went like this:
Day 1- Full dose
Day 2-3/4 dose
Day 3-6- 1/2 dose
Day 7- StopIt worked pretty well. I imagine if I'd had major withdrawal problems the taper could have been extended or something but...it worked OK.
With the Prozac already in the picture and your dosage so low, it would seem that withdrawal would be pretty mild. When I withdrew from Cymbalta it was kind of rough, but that was because I took 90mgs/day and I stopped it cold turkey.
