I reduced my dose of Paxil while increasing my dose of Cymbalta:

I started at 60 mg Paxil.

First shift: 40 mg Paxil, 30 mg Cymbalta. After two weeks, I went down to 20 mg Paxil and up to 40 mg Cymbalta. That jump was rough. After 2 more weeks, I dropped to 10 mg of Paxil, but that was too much of a crash in the SSRI.

I went up to 50 mg Cymbalta and maintained the 10 mg Paxil. That is where I am now. In a few days, I am going off the Paxil completely and up to 60 mg Cymbalta.

The transition was not easy, but I am definitely feeling a lot better than before.
