    In the future I would like to stop cymbalta

Hello, I am new here. I´ve been on cymbalta 60mg for 5 years and after reading this site, I got scared and I am deciding when to start decreasing my dose until I wean. My questions are:
1. Which were the symptoms of your Depression?
2. Which are your cymbalta withdrawal symptoms?
3. Are these withdrawal symptoms different from the symptoms you had when cymbalta was prescribed???? or is it the same Depression symptoms coming back?
4. Which are worse a) The symptoms of your Depression when you were not taking any medicine? or B) Cymbalta withdrawal symptoms.
Your answers will be helpful to decide if and when to do the dosage decrease.
In my case Depression was horrible and cymbalta has helped (although it effectiveness diminished as time went by).
thank you
C.

Hi Cookie

This site should answer your questions. Also, if you feel signs of depression while weaning, then it's likely that you have weaned too fast.

FYI the recommended weaning schedule is to drop by no more than 10% of your current dose and wait 3-6 weeks before reducing further.

Cheers
Junior
