Cymbalta Blues As the old cliche goes misery loves company, I found this forum last night and I am so glad. Cymbalta has been in my life for years now, 30 mg. daily. A month an a half ago the Doctor reduced it to 20 mg. The lowered dosage has not effected me in any noticeable way.Now, I am ISO empty capsules so I can taper down to 10 mg. I haven't had any luck there yet but, will go to the Health food store tomorrow. On this site I have found very good advice and I can tell you support one another. I will be here again soon, I'm so glad I have others that understand. After reading some of the stories here I must say I don't look forward to coming off this stuff, but, having others will help. Best of luck to each and every one of you that's going through this. |

Do you think it is wise to taper SNRI meds on your own? |
Welcome MistyGirl here is 2 links that is very useful http://www.soberrecovery.com/forums/...at-we-did.html http://www.soberrecovery.com/forums/...-recovery.html |
Splitting the capsules into smaller doses will yield inaccurate dosing. Plus if it's time released, then more issues. You might want to call you doctor to get a lower dose prescribed to you and also ask for a taper schedule. |
I tapered off lexapro and it wasn't pleasant. I sought medical advise and got some good vitamins and minerals that helped ease the withdrawal. |
I agree with talking to your doctor. I stopped cold turkey and it was brutal. |
Good to meet you mistygirl - very glad you found us. :) |
Hi Mistygirl :) I'm not sure if this is on doctors advice or not - if not, I'd go and see them again. Like Sarah said they may be able to give you a lower mg pill? D |
There's lots of good advice here, Mistygirl. Please let us know how you're doing. |
