Hi, I'm Bill

Hi @Bill...welcome! We have a few members that are helping their loved one taper. Your daughter is fortunate to have such a caring and supportive father! You should be able to find what you need to help your daughter taper off successfully. Is her doctor supportive of her desire to taper slowly? You said she's on 40 mg, but in the signature it says 20 mg. Does she take it twice a day? Are her capsules filled with beads? Here is some clinical information about Cymbalta: https://taper.community/drugs/cymbalta Some other links that might help: https://taper.community/resources/blog/cymbalta-tapering-guide https://taper.community/thread/ab74bb64-36cc-43ab-9d60-b04e6e1246cc https://taper.community/thread/96e16dcf-01bc-4028-bb0b-27deddce1fe3 https://taper.community/thread/0ac03733-1b1d-4728-bc7b-713dfde02bc4 https://taper.community/thread/d41182b4-060b-4c2e-a1e8-da9e6777d7e5 https://taper.community/thread/ecea5d5c-ab7a-43f4-80b2-994bbee9fbf8 Happy to have you here!

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
