Tali Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Hey I’m changing from duloxetine to citalopram. Is it possible to replace between them on the same day? Or it’s better to lower first the duloxetine and than to add the citalopram by one month? What’s your advice? Link to comment
Administrator Altostrata Posted January 31, 2021 Administrator Share Posted January 31, 2021 Welcome, @Tali This is a site for going off drugs. We do not advise on doctor-supervised drug switches for the purpose of staying on the drug -- that's what they get paid for. If your doctor doesn't know how to do this, you need a new doctor. Please let us know if you want to go off your drugs. This is not medical advice. Discuss any decisions about your medical care with a knowledgeable medical practitioner.

Moderator Emeritus ChessieCat Posted January 31, 2021 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted January 31, 2021 I suggest that you do your own research. The term for changing from one drug to another is called a cross taper or bridge or switch. I did a search using all the following words and found some things: switch bridge cross taper * NO LONGER ACTIVE on SA * MISSION ACCOMPLISHED: (6 year taper) 0mg Pristiq on 13th November 2021 ADs since ~1992: 25+ years - 1 unknown, Prozac (muscle weakness), Zoloft; citalopram (pooped out) CTed (very sick for 2.5 wks a few months after); Pristiq: 50mg 2012, 100mg beg 2013 (Serotonin Toxicity) Tapering from Oct 2015 - 13 Nov 2021 LAST DOSE 0.0025mg Post 0 updates start here My tapering program My Intro (goes to tapering graph) VIDEO: Antidepressant Withdrawal Syndrome and its Management Link to comment
