> Starting on July 11th, I decided to try to take one capsule every 3 days.I can't tell you how long you'll feel sick, but I can tell you that the halflife of Cymbalta in the body is too short for taking one pill every three days to be a good taper schedule. Much better would have been to go down to 30 or 40 mg every day, then step down from there after a week or so. The best advice I can offer now, though, is to check the withdrawal board here, and to contact your doctor about a couple of days worth of Prozac. The day or two of Prozac should ease your withdrawal, and it's been called "self-tapering" due to its long halflife.
I hope that helps. Welcome to Babble.
