Federico: successful withdrawal from Cymbalta?


Federico

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone! 
I'm new to this forum. :)

I was wondering, has anyone here (or in the world) sucessfully withdrawed from Cymbalta (duloxetine) and had stayed drugfree permanently?

I have been taking cymbalta for more than 10 years, and I know about the tapering method of 10% reduction per month (which seems reasonable to me), but was wondering if anyone has actually been successful and off it for good?  Thanks everyone!

 

2002 - 2019 Cymbalta 100mg

2006 - 2019 Clonazepam 3mg

 

No taper as of now.

Hi Federico, 

 

Welcome to SA. I’ve moved your post over here to Introductions. This is your thread, you can ask your questions here, and journal.  Firstly, could you please fill in a drug signature. Someone will send you a link. 

 

If you go to the top of this page, put  Cymbalta in the search engine and you’ll find others that are tapering off Cymbalta, or have tapered off it. 

 

Sending hugs🤗

Hi Federico, 

 

How are you doing?

 

Would you please put in your drug signature. Just go to the Read This First section and then to the thread entitled Please Put Your Withdrawal History In Your Signature. Thank you.

 

Have you decided to taper as yet? 

 

Take care, sending hugs🤗
