A member asked:
If i am going to switch from cymbalta (duloxetine) 60 to lexapro...how difficult a switch..would cymbalta (duloxetine) have to be stopped altogether first?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This recommendation: Should come from your prescribing medical provider. I often do a cross titration. The switch over may or may not be seamless regarding anxiety symptoms.
