You've seen the various suggestions. I'm in the cold turkey camp. For a few days driving wasn't a good idea. After about 6 weeks I could go a day without a symptom. After 3 months I could go a week without a symptom.
> I was on cymbalta since last Oct. I started weaning off over a month. 40mg(from 60mg) for 2 weeks and then 20mg for 2 weeks. I am starting to feel some of the side effects mentioned. The worst are parasthesia in limbs and face, dizziness and vertigo when I stand up too fast, sexual dreams and hands shaking. Basically I feel weird. My emotions have been more labile. I can cry easily and feel a little irritable. Should I ride out the withdrawal or take a smaller dose? It sounds like there are withdrawal effects either way. I want to get off it as quickly as possible. Any suggestions?
