Question: How fast can you get off your antidrepressant.?
I am on cymbalta, Can I take one every other day for a week and then none or what they are capsules..Health Question & Answer


Answers:
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..Health Question & Answer

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..
