A member asked:

I have been taking anti depressant meds for the past 10 years, cipralex and currently cymbalta (duloxetine) 60mg. what is the best schedule to wean off completely?

Taper slowly: tapering slowly is the best way to wean off antidepressants but this should not be attempted without discussing with your physician

The Dr's best to ask: The doctor who last prescribed either or both of those medications is the person to best ask since they know you clinically, they know your symptoms, and they would have a better sense of what you need to do while weaning off these medications if in fact The doctor believes they are necessary for your health. I don't think you should wean off these medications without involving your doctor.
