Hi @Mikets, welcome!
Many people have decided that a drug is no longer serving them and they want to taper off. I personally feel that the less drugs someone is on the better. Also, you've already read that taking your two drugs at once is not recommended.
We can certainly help you do a slow taper off the Duloxetine! A Hyperbolic taper is going to be the safest way to taper. You can learn about this in the Resources section.
Here are some other links to get you started. I hope they help.

Here is the Cymbalta forum if you want to find other members who are tapering it. Make sure to "follow" them so you can be notified of their future posts:
