Hi Pedro Mendes, I'm sorry to hear that your wife is going through such a difficult time. Which medication is she taking, and what dose is she currently on? How long has she been experiencing withdrawal symptoms? How did she taper—what size were her dose reductions, and how much time did she leave between each reduction?

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.
