> well back on the 30 for now...feeling so much better...was not willing to ride out the 2 weeks for know whether it was withdrawal or symptoms..just know the ocd etc was coming back with a vengeance....may switch later but not now too many other stress factors going on now...question why a dr would just stop 30 mg. cold turkey
I assume your doctor thought it would be OK because 30mg is a fairly low dose. It's no placebo though, and Cymbalta is frequently associated with withdrawal symptoms when stopping, so tapering off is better. It would be good if there was a low strength of caps for tapering but the manufacturer doesn't market such a product.
What will you do next?
