After being down to only 1 bead a day for over 5 months, I finally quit taking Cymbalta on Dec. 22nd and haven't had any withdrawal so far. The doctor prescribed .1 mg 2 x a day of Clonidine for withdrawal. I've only been taking a 1/4 of that dosage each day and have been okay.
I was on Cymbalta for over 10 years, have been tapering slowly with the bead counting since 2014 and did have a couple of withdrawal episodes in the process but were pretty mild. I'd had to be very slow in the process because of the kind of work I do and can't take off 2 weeks when withdrawal does happen.
What are the chances, do you think, that I will go into withdrawal since it's been over a week now and I haven't had any withdrawal symptoms? So far, my spirits are good and I'm getting good sleep.
Thank you so much for all of the fantastic support this forum has provided for me. I couldn't have done it without you!!
