Hi @Elsie, and welcome! Nice to have you here. Can you describe in more detail how you've been tapering thus far? Your signature says you're taking Cymbalta 18 mg and are holding. So you've been tapering that? When was your last reduction? Is that the only drug you're tapering right now? I know you're dealing with multiple drugs. In that situation, it's best to taper only one at a time. Please let us know how our community can help you best so you're able to get off your psychiatric drugs as safely as possible. We look forward to supporting you! Catina 🩷

Venlafaxine (tapering) - Current dose 17.92 mg
Trazodone - 50 mg
Levothyroxine - 25 mcg
