I am going to help my daughter taper off duloxetine. On for 5 years. Type ll diabetic. Currently taking 40 mg a day. I am looking to use the weighing process to reduce dosage. Here looking for advice.
Cymbalta โ 20mg โ 5 years โ researching taper
Venlafaxine (tapering) - Current dose 18.56 mg Trazodone - 50 mg Levothyroxine - 25 mcg โYour brain and body know how to heal. Trust the process and keep going.โ
Hey Bill! Are you referring to the weighing of the pill? If you dont have access to liquid for I think the best way is to dissolve the pill in water and extract the % you need with a syringe and squirt it into the mouth. Of course liqiud is ideal.
If you try to shave the pill , the active ingredient isnt evenly distributed in the pill so it may not be accurate.
Let us know how it goes
