Moderator Emeritus scallywag Posted February 3, 2017 Moderator Emeritus Posted February 3, 2017 It's nice that the blogger-doc posted the question and replied. It's understandable that he doesn't want to wade into challenging current medical belief -- and it is belief not evidence-based knowledge -- but his answer is a non-response. He writes about the questionable use of anti-depressants and about not ever starting on them, advice that doesn't help people trying to safely discontinue them. This is not medical advice. Discuss any decisions about your medical care with a knowledgeable medical practitioner.1997-1999 Effexor; 2002-2005 Effexor XR 37.5 mg linear taper, dropping same #beads/week with bad results Cymbalta 60 mg 2012 - 2015; 2016: 20 mg to 7 mg exact doses and dates in this post; 2017: 6.3 mg to 0.0 mg Aug. 12; details here scallywag's IntroductionOnline spreadsheet for dose taper calculations and nz11's THE WORKS spreadsheet
