Hello. : Hello. In general, Cymbalta (duloxetine) should be tapered to avoid a variety of possible side effects. Some doctors may just recommend stopping cymbalata if the total is 30mg per day. However, to decrease the chance of developing discontinuation problems, it can be tapered to the lowest pill dose which is 20mg per day before discontinuing.
