Can I just stop Cymbalta at 30mgs once a day?

Gwen, the last part of Cymbalta "discontinuation syndrome" can be the most difficult for some people. It was for me. If that happens to you, consider opening the capsules, count the little beads inside, do some math and continue with a prolonged taper. It took me a total of 3 months to taper. The hardest part for me was the last 5 mgs. Taking an SSRI (avoid another SNRI) as a bridge drug was helpful in my case but I still had to taper SLOWLY to avoid brain zaps and a crippling spacey sensation. I was taking Cymbalta for neuropathy and I experienced elevated pain for most of the taper.

Yes you can just stop it you will be uncomfortable but it is not dangerous since you've been dropping 30mg at a time already. My doctor prescribed Prozac in lieu of Cymbalta and it helps with the withdrawal symptoms. That's something you could ask your doctor about. Prozac has a very long half life and does not have the withdrawal effects that Cymbalta does.
