Hi Everyone,
I'm new here but have gained so much confidence just by reading your threads. Am going from Effexor 150mg to 75mg for a week to 10 days. This is day 2 and I started 30mg of cymbalta 1 per day for a week then no effexor(if all is well, doc says maybe 10 days) and 60 mg of cymbalta 1 per day. So far just my normal reaction to even an hour late of taking my effexor, a whoshing feeling in head. Hope the withdrawal won't be bad. Any encouraging words or hints would be greatly appreciated.

Hello and welcome to p-babble :)
I don't think the Effexor withdrawal will be too bad. Cymbalta should block most of the withdrawal symptoms. Good luck with Cymbalta.

Hi there! We're in the same boat, switching from 150 Effexor to 30 Cymbalta. The difference is that I'm not tapering from the Effexor at all - went straight from one to the other, since they are roughly equivalent (both the kind of medication, and the dosage - Psych told me that 150 Effexor XR is about 30 of the Cymbalta.)I have a thread going on here tracking my progress from one to the other.

Hope that my insights help!
