Helo CobolCapsule: The Skeezyks is one of those people who don't experience any significant difficulty going off med's. (I'm no longer on any at all.) I've taken myself off of med's numerous times in the past without consulting my doctors. Most recently I had been on the maximum recommended dosage of Cymbalta for well over a year. When I decided to go off of it, I decided this time I would consult my pdoc. He recommended a withdrawl schedule that would take me off of the med over the course of 2 weeks. I thought this seemed very fast. But, since I had not had any serious difficulties with previous med's, & that was what he was recommending, I decided to go with it. And it was fine... no significant issues.

I know I've read, here on PC, many accounts of difficulties members have had coming off of various med's (including Cymbalta.) But I simply have not had any of those experiences.
