Hi Nethal, Welcome to the community! Could you tell us which medication your daughter is taking and how it was tapered or stopped? What dose is she currently taking, and how long has she been on the medication? What symptoms is your daughter experiencing? How old is she, and what was the medication originally prescribed for?

Cymbalta — 15mg(12mg) — 17 Jahre — holding -with clinician - 90 mg – 2021: First tapering attempt.
60 mg – 2023: Second tapering attempt.
With a doctor's supervision—but unfortunately, a doctor who doesn't know how to properly taper off an antidepressant.
