Help with going off Cymbalta

Posted 15 August 2014 - 07:50 PM

I tapered my 20mg with a generic Cymbalta manufactured by Teva which had approx. 100 TINY beads in it. A miserable chore!!! Then I was getting rid of pills and saw that I had 20mg from a different manufacturer. I decided to open it up and there were 4 pills inside!! How easy that would have been!! Just take 1 pill out per week for a nice slow taper. It's the generic Cymbalta (Duloxetine Hcl) 20 mg tabs manufactured by Lupin. Not sure if you can look for a pharmacy that offers that specific generic. If you can get it...yay for you!!!

heheheh ... I wonder how the evil geniuses at the pharma cos decide how many little "pearls of wisdom" to put in their respective versions of this poison? And what size they should be .... and, now that I think about it, who decides on pill color and shape?

At least maybe the one company was possibly thinking of those of us trying to get off of it. Maybe....

Just a word of caution..... I got switched form the original form of cymbalta to the generic you are speaking of.. And that in it's self for me made a huge difference. I felt horrible with the change. Which is what prompted me to do my final push to get off. I to took one bead out at a time which made it a lot easier.. But I did it much slower than one a week.. I did one like every two or more weeks depending on how quickly my body was adjusting to the change..

Just a heads up.. the change may throw ya for a lope along with the decrease.. it did me.. It took me a while to figure it all out as well cuz I didn't think changing to the generic would be a big deal. But for me it was...
