How long do withdrawal symptoms last when you stop taking Cymbalta?
Question:
Answers:
Instead of listening to any doctors, I have done my own "weaning." I opened the capsule and took took out some of the medication. Each day, I try to take a smaller amount, but when I try to go down too fast, I am sick the next day. I get headaches, nausea, but the worse part is the dizziness. About 2-3 hours before it's time to take the next pill, I start feeling dizzy again. But it's something that I can handle. It has been about 10 days of "downsizing" my pill and tomorrow I am not going to take one. I know it's going to make me sick even though I barely took anything today, but I'm not working tomorrow and I'm hoping to sleep it off.
I do not by any means recommend the every other day. You would essentially be going through detox on the even days and reintroducing the drug on the odd days. I just went through one day of detox and now I'm on my second. It's awful, but there is no way, after going through the first day, that I would put the drug back into my system, just go through the detox again.
Good luck and don't plan to do anything during detox. I stayed in bed all day yesterday and now I'm trying to work through it. Yesterday was worse than today and I'm sure tomorrow will be much better than today.
