How fast can you get off your antidrepressant?

Question

I am on cymbalta, Can I take one every other day for a week and then none or what they are capsules.

Answer 1

talk to the psychiatrist that prescribed them.

Answer 2

Go off them as slowly as possible to avoid withdrawl sysmptoms

Answer 3

Only as fast as your doctor tells you.  Seriously, withdrawals from anti's are nothing to mess around with.  Tell your prescribing doctor to develop a dosage reduction plan over time so you can safely wean off the drug.  

Hope this helps!

Answer 4

I don't know about cymbalta but with celexa i had to cut the tablets, i think from a whole to 3 quarters and then 1/2 etc until i was down to less than a quarter, took each size of tablet for about 4 or 5 days before going down to next size, sounds ridiculous but i had really bad head shocks and blackouts if i didn't.

Just realised you said they're capsules, the dr will prob have to give you different dosages.

Answer 5

start something else, like drinking coffee.
