Amanda,

My doctor told me it could cause some syndrome that is potentially fatal to switch before I am completely off of the Cymbalta. The doctors are oh so amazed that I am having withdrawals at all.


> Hello I just wanted any one to know who's having problems with cymbalta withdrawal;
>
> I was on 60 mg and had horrible withdrawal if I took it more than an hour later than scheduled;
>
> However GOOD NEWS: Switch to an SSRI, and there is virtually no withdrawal symptoms (as noro-epinephrine does not create withdrawal.)
>
> I personally used Lexapro, my old stand-by; and I went right to 15mg (not recomending this, I know by my own experience I can tolerate higher levels of this one but some people get very stimulated at 5mg.) Any way I used this amount (even though my doctor gave me 10mg) to account for the serotonin levels @ 60mg Cymbalta.

> Im just writing to help b/c I know it's torture to come off these meds but you really can switch from one to another fairly easily with your doctors aproval. I am a good judge on that b/c I am sosososososoosos incredibly sensitive to SSRI and SNRI withdrawal.

> If you have any questions for me I will check back the posts everyonce in a while (don't wanna leave my email in case there's any creepy folk scoping the internet)

> God Bless you all,
> Most sincerely,
