better to slowly decrease if possible... the doctor just recently switched me directly from cymbalta to venlafaxine without any adjustment period and after a couple weeks i nearly killed myself. so if you do have to do cold turkey, just be aware of your moods and have a good support team around you! pain and nausea were a major issue from the withdrawal too.

Dont do cold turkey! i sort of did and well ended up at hospital with heart twitching and learned this is a big no no! slowly wean ....lt literally is dangerous...i used to think it was ok til i went thru it!

Should not do cymbalta cold turkey. Take a few grams out at a time and with doctor watching you.

That is really not a good idea. Major withdrawal!

The doctor is weaning me off of Cymbalta right now.....I was taking 60 mg and am now taking 30 mg for two weeks and then will start a trial of Sevella. Best to taper off of many of the drugs they give us. Side effects can be brutal and in some cases life threatening.
