How To Withdraw From Cymbalta?

I used to take Wellbutrin 300 xl. In the last 2 years my dr. Put me on Effexor then pristiq then cymbala 60 mg. I have not done very well so I asked to go back on Wellbutrin. I believe he may choose 150 mg 2x day or 300 xl. How should I wean off cymbalta? Should I taper off to minimize withdrawal symptom?

Hi,

You should taper off in close control with your general practitioner. If you are weaned off too fast you can experience a worsening in symptoms.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Anders Mark Christensen, General Surgeon
