The Skeezyks was on Cymbalta followed by it's generic (when it became available) for a year or two (memory fails me.) It was the best antidepressant, for me, that I tried. I had virtually no side effects although I was on the maximum recommended dosage. I wouldn't say I didn't still have my good days & bad days. But it seemed like it kept me from sinking too low. That's more than I could say about any of the others I had tried previously.

I finally went off it when I changed health insurance plans & the out-of-pocket cost skyrocketed! When I decided to quit it, I went in to see my pdoc to get his recommendations regarding a tapering schedule. He just told me to taper off of it over the course of 2 weeks. I thought that was very fast. But since that was his recommendation, I went with it & had no significant problems.
