My doctor put me on Cymbalta about five weeks ago. I took a couple days worth of the 30 mg and he upped it to 60 mg. I hate this drug. I want to come off it. The problem is I don't know how.
Do I decrease dosage by 5 percent a day or week? I have read so many differing opinions. I didnt know anything about the problems with discontinuation of the drug, so last Saturday I just stopped taking it. By Wednesday I was crawling out my skin. Brain and and body zaps, crying. I started researching this whole weaning process and took a 60 mg on Weds and today, Thursday. I would like to start tapering tomorrow, but need a plan.....
Will it help matters that I was only on it five weeks? This is so scary.
I went out and bought some Benadryl and Omega 3, as I heard that may help.
I look forward to hearing from you all tomorrow. Thanks in advance.
