You have to go off Cymbalta VERY-VERY-VERY slowly or you'll get horrible withdrawal symptoms that can last for MONTHS.

I've written about this before: http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/sh...ighlight=taper

Cymbalta and Effexor are chemically the same drug. Some people who taper actually have to open the pills and take a few granules out during the taper process.

I've gone into horrendous withdrawals after just 7 days of not being able to get my Effexor XR prescription refilled. DO NOT COLD-TURKEY CYMBALTA!!

I'm telling you, Nikko, you'd give up ever having sex again to not have to go through what that withdrawal feels like

Love and hugs.
