I started going weaning off on the 11th of July. I was on 20 mg twice a day for fibro. The first week I skipped my evening dose every other day. The second week I was down to one pill a day, I had some problems now. The last week I took it I took it a morning dose every other day. I haven't taken cymbalta since the 23th. But on the 25th I started having very bad withdrawal symptoms, I couldn't sleep well, I have had a migraine every day. I am nauseous, and I feel very anxious. The only other change has a increase in 25 to 50 mg of Elavil (I have been on this dose before and I waited until week 2 to up the dose). Has anyone else had problems later on the weaning process.

Typical symptoms that will probably get a lot worse. We normally recommend weaning off over a 3 to 4 month period. Cymbalta withdrawal can be very extreme. Not everyone has that reaction but it is best to error on the side of caution. Consider reinstating at your original dose and wean much slower.
