A member asked:

My 16 yr old daughter is on 60 mg cymbalta (duloxetine) and we want to get her off it. what is the ideal tapering schedule? thanks,

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Cymbalta (duloxetine): The ideal tapering schedule is one that is discussed with the prescribing doctor. Your daughter must have had a reason to be on Cymbalta (duloxetine) in the first place and the timing and/or the need for another medication should be discussed with a professional. This is a serious matter, please discuss it with her doctor.
