Scott, thanks for the advice. In response to your question, I had only been on Cymbalta 3 weeks so my dr. said to drop from 60 to 30 for 3 days then stop. I did so, then got very nauseous 3 days later. Went back on, then tapered VERY slowly for about 3 weeks. At the end I was opening the capsules and counting the tiny granules -- I think I was down to about 5 mg. when I stopped Mon. It is now Day 6, I just got up a little while ago and unfortunately, I'm still nauseous. I have to drive 2 hrs. later to go home for my appt tomorrow with my PM -- not sure how I'm going to handle driving while feeling like s*it. And as I mentioned, my dr. does not want to hear that my symptoms are being caused by Cym withdrawal. He will probably attribute it to the Kadian that I started taking Mon. I KNOW it's not the Kadian. I felt fine on Mon. and Tue., then started with slight nausea on Day 3, building to yesterday's dizziness/nausea. This is the same scenario I went through before with Cymbalta. Oh well... I am going to try to get a piece of toast down now...
