I am tapering off Cymbalta right now. I have BP1 and Fibromyalgia. My family doctor prescribed 30 mg for depression and muscle pain. My rheumatologist upped the dose to 60mg. It helped with the pain and anxiety more than the depression and I only have one side effect - insomnia. Without a sleeping pill, I will stay awake for up to 4 days. Taking OTC sleeping aids do not help and even prescriptions fail to do much. So, tapering off is what I'm doing.
