I'm not sure I understand this but are you saying one doctor prescribed cymbalta and another is saying just stop it completely. Without going off on a time frame. I would double check, but I'm not positive but most of these medicines you need to taper down off of. So I wouldn't want to just go off cold turkey without it being told by either the prescribing doctor or a pharmacist that I trust that its okay. I would even consider going say everyother night for a week. And then off.

Now topamax starting on the 50mg to replace the cymbalta, yes I would definately start that, but they can be taken together too. I take both.
So I'm not sure why the doctor has you going off. So I would definately be wondering about this. I think personally I would be wanting to try it on both first. Then maybe going off the cymbalta after say two months if it doesnt help. IT will take at least a little while usually to see some help. But not always from the topamax.

Hoping you figure this out. SOmetimes it takes some time.
