Administrator Altostrata Posted April 13, 2018 Administrator Share Posted April 13, 2018 Welcome, Brenda. How long have you been off Cymbalta? Did you go off Prozac 26 days ago? Do you have any Prozac left? If yes, you can take a little bit of Prozac now, it should help the withdrawal symptoms. How much Prozac were you taking? This is not medical advice. Discuss any decisions about your medical care with a knowledgeable medical practitioner.
