carissah1689: Cymbalta and Lamictal - Ready to make a change. Nervous though.

[carissah1689]

Hi everyone. 
 

I’m new and as such I’m nervous. I’m looking to reduce my current med dosages:

 

cymbalta (duloxetine 60mg) 120mg

 

lamictal (lamotrigine 100mg) 250mg

 

I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety around 15 and was on and off Zoloft for years until I had my son at 29 (2018). I then developed postpartum depression and my meds were switched to the listing above. 
 

3 years later and I’m feeling so much better. New job and the realization(diagnosed in childhood but I forgot I had it) that I have ADHD and certain things make sense regarding that. 

 

So I want to taper off my high med dosages. I hate knowing I’m on such high amounts and I’m in a better place mentally that I want to taper off. 
 

So, where do I start? What med do I start with first? Thank you 💜
