Very helpful! I remember doing this taper on my own years ago…what a nightmare!
I was taking a few beads out of the capsule just to stop the brain zaps. It seems like it took forever to get off this nasty med.
At the moment I’m tapering off of Cymbalta. I shall see how this goes.

Good for you! Important to partner with a psychiatrist sensitive to the role of spirituality & prayer/meditation to wean ourselves off years of unnecessary dependency on anti-depressants and other psychotropic meds. prescribed willy nilly by irresponsible docs. 12-Step programs have helped me let go of anti-depressants. Addiction is addiction, folks, whether self-prescribed or m.d.-prescribed. You too can be free . Seek God & not irresponsible, buyer-beware docs!
