Hello! I am on my second month of 30mg of Cymbalta down from 60mg. I had been on 60mg/day for a couple of years. I can stop the 30mg anytime now, according to my doctor's weening instructions. I am a little bit afraid of it though. I guess I am wondering what others have experienced while weening off--how did you feel imediately after? Long term? Thanks!

Hi I warned myself off under Dr supervision. I was OK up till day 5 of 0mg. That was 2 weeks ago and I am still having awful withdrawal symptoms . They will be different for everyone though. I just hope these symptoms end soon!! Let me know how you get on. All the best. H x
Dear ANna R I was on cymbalta many years ago I was at one point on 120mg a day but eventually I got off all that stuff your correct about the wheening off part .take it slow they don"t want you to have any issues. Most of us have been on a lot of these meds a whole cocktail of different things .They work for some not for others..
I am on day 6 of the reduction from 60 to 30 mg. I've done this before and had no problem but this time I really don't feel well. Oddly my sinuses are acting up again. Cymbalta must have been helping somehow. I also have trouble sleeping so I have to take Melatonin now.
Blue-eyed1 has it perfectly right except I went to taking halfs after the three day for about two weeks. You will still have minor withdrawal symptoms but very little.
Try going from one a day to one every other day, then every 2 days, then 3 days, etc... Last time I weened myself off of anything this helped a lot. No bad side effects.
