I learned something important in my research that everyone should be aware of:
The FDA has officially warned against opening the Cymbalta capsules because the "enteric coating" can be affected, and because of "medication errors." The product packaging was changed to include a warning. This warning is published in "FDA Drug Safety Newsletter; Winter 2008."

I know many people on here have talked about opening the capsules to decrease the dosage during taper, some at the suggestion of his/her doctor. Make sure you mention this FDA info to your doctor!
