42nd Cymbalta Update - Feeling Okay

August 15, 2026··
taper update
Feeling okay. Been having bouts of gi upset, irritability, nausea, and tinnitus. There has been a slight improvement in my digestive sensitivity, but I'm still experiencing symptoms that come in waves. It's very exhausting.

Duloxi84’s taper progress

Dose (mg)
Mood (/10)

Cymbalta — 13mg — 17 Jahre — holding -with clinician - 90 mg – 2021: First tapering attempt.
60 mg – 2023: Second tapering attempt.
With a doctor's supervision—but unfortunately, a doctor who doesn't know how to properly taper off an antidepressant.
