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.
