OH, also, even tho Cymbalta is a capsule, they are filled with beads, so you can open the capsule up and take a bead out. That is how I did it when I went off Cymbalta, one bead at a time. I have the original Cymbalta, if you have generic, then I think they are like 6 big beads in the capsule, so that makes it a little more difficult, as the Cymbalta capsule has about 100.
