Question

Im stopping cymbalta next month but want to avoid withdrawal. im taking 60 mg caps. is there any way to avoid withdrawal? or is there any way to detox my body with water, or any home remedies, or ibuprofin, that will detox my body without having a withdrawal?

Answer 1

You need to wean yourself off slowly, so the brain levels have time to adjust.  Start by breaking open the capsules and dividing them in half, and take half a normal dose at a time.  Do this for a week or until you feel normal.  Then cut the dose again, or increase the time interval between doses.  

Benedryl at night will help if you get insomnia as you are weaning yourself off.

Answer 2

slowely reduce your u dose by 1/2....  for 1 week and 2 week reduce to 1/4
