I have taken Cymbalta for many years for muscle aches and chronic depression. I have also fallen for no apparent reason, once I fell as I was having a pleasant conversation with a friend in the doorway of our home. I Wilkie to wean off of Cymbalta but I struggling with that process. Can you tell me how you weaned yourself from it, how long it took, and any advice that might be helpful for me. Thank you!

Every time I skipped a dose I got nauseous and would continue taking it. I landed in the hospital for the second time with serious side effects from Cymbalta and made up my mind to get off it one way or another. The first hospital stay was for serotonin syndrome and the second for low blood sodium. My primary care provider prescribed Ondansetron, an anti-nausea drug which helped but didn't completely eliminate the nausea. My friend who had undergone chemo told me to chew ginger gum. It took about 2 weeks before I quit completely. I hope you have success.
