Clarinetgeek Posted October 9, 2023 Posted October 9, 2023 Started August 2021 on Duloxetine at 20 mg/day. Now tapered to 20 beads (<2 mg). I cannot recall dates, but in 1990’s was on lowest dose of Paxil for less than a year. During early 2,000’s was on Zoloft, lowest dose and later Lexapro, switching to Citalopram. Less than 2 years each, no withdrawals Was on Zoloft, less than two years, and citalopram, less than two years. Withdrawal with no problems. Probably 5 years ago. I am currently tapering off Duloxetine. I started January 2020 at 20 mg, started taper in August 2020 and after slow taper am now at <2 mg (20 beads). Have been stuck for about three months at 20 beads. I don’t remember and have no record of dates or dosage (although all were the lowest dosage) Prior history I’ve taken Paxil in 1990’s for less than a year. No withdrawal issues. Just stopped. Zoloft, Lexapro and citalopram for less than two years each in early 2,000’s, no withdrawal issues. Zoloft and Citalopram about five years ago. Less than to years on each and faintly rapid withdrawal with no issues.
