What mg. prozac? Yes you will need something if you plan to go cold turkey...I had gotten down to 7.5 mg before trying cold turkey and had the worst symptoms since I quit effexor...so I have no doubt you will develop them, just be prepared...I am tempted to order the prozac online and actually thought of doing just that until I asked the doctor and was told it could be potentially fatal if mixed because it could cause some type of syndrome...can you inquire with your doctor about this and see what his thoughts are?

> > I'm stopping my Cymbalta today. I was on 60mg for over a year, the last month on 30mg (with no side effects whatsoever) and now cold turkey. My doc said that it wouldn't be easy and if it got bad to let her know and a single dose of prozac should do the job as it has a 1/2 life of about 3 weeks. I'm a bit nervous about this, but I'm willing to do it as I want my body to be clean of all drugs. I'm feeling so great being on a lower dose. I'm also hoping that getting off of this drug will help me lose the weight I put on while on the drug. Any thoughts from anyone? Thanks!

> Yes, please keep us posted. My withdrawal symptoms didn't start until 3 days after I stopped. (And I was only on it 3 weeks.) It will be interesting to see whether anyone is able to get off this with no withdrawal. Good luck!
