Is It Advisable To Reduce Dosage Of Cymbalta?

I ve been reducing my Cymbalta by 5 beads weekly, to ween myself off Cymbalta. will this be ok? I can no longer endure the side affects from Cymbalta. And it s impossible to go cold turkey with withdrawal symptoms much like those of a heroin addict. Tell me honestly, Is the Cymbalta killing me slowing from the inside out?

No, and it generally does NOT have withdrawal symptoms. BUT it is usual for someone to have depression to come back when stopping an antidepressant. Usually one changes over to another one without a taper.
