> I have been on 60mg Cymbalta for 18 days for headache and depression. Both have been getting progressively worse over the last 6 days. I want to get off Cymbalta and my question is: since I've been on it such a short time can I get off "cold turkey" or do I have to graduate off (ie. to 30mg for a week, then 30mg every other day for a week, then 30mg every third day for ?????). I've read some pretty scary stuff on Cymbalta - this site has been very informative. Thanks for any help.
> vleeI would go slower than that. You can split the capsules and just wet your finger and put it in your mouth and wash it down with water. This was the hardest medication for me to get off of next to effexor. Do that for 5 days and then lower it again. I'm not sure if these come in 60mg capsule, but just split one of them and take the other one with it. If it's a 60mg, just leave 1/4 behind. Good luck. Sinus medication helps with the withdrawals.
