Hello all - new to the forum.
My doctor put me on 60mg of Cymbalta almost 3 months ago (started first week at 30mg) for trigeminal neuralgia pain and anxiety. It has not really helped that much for the pain and has helped some with anxiety I will admit, but the side effects are getting worse and I'd like to try to get off of it sooner rather than later.
I see that you all recommend the bead counting. If you do the bead counting method do you stay on the same milligram pill the whole time as you take beads out or at some point do you change to a lower milligram? seems like it would be hard to decipher how much were taking if you switched milligrams.
Also was wondering if since I've only been on it a short period of time, if I could go faster with the dosing down?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Jennifer
