How To Wean Off Duloxetine?

I ve tried many antidepressents and am now taking Duloxetine 60 MG. I want to try sam-e instead. How long must I be on 30 mg before cutting it out (I am taking 2 30 mg tablets per day) totally, and can I start Sam-e while I am only taking 30 mg. I am going to bed soon. Could you e-mail me your answer using the address below: YYYY@YYYY ? Thanks for helping! I wish all the antidepressants I have tried had worked, but they don t seem to do anything.
