Duloxetine / Cymbalta diary 2012

[LilyPad1991]

Hello Loreen,

Thanks for your reply

Can I ask about you changing from the SSRI to the SNRI... Did you do a straight swap from one day to the next or did you gradually come off the SSRI before starting the SNRI? The psychiatrist said both are possible but recommended coming off citalopram gradually before starting the Cymbalta.

Thank you!

Hello Lilypad

I did go straight from the ssri to snri. I was in a real mess emotionally and didn't want to risk getting any worse,so my doctor advised me to go straight on to the 60mg Duloxetine.

I think you need to listen to your pyschiatrist and do it how she recomends,but it really didn't affect me going straight over with no tapering.

Hope this helps,and feel free to ask me anything else
