How to wean off Cymbalta?
human
I have RA and am presently taking methotrexate, Cymbalta, and cannabi & THC. Can you see any possible problems that might come up? I want to taper off the Cymbalta which I have been taking for arthritic pain for at least four years. When I was diagnosed with RA, methotrexate was added to the mix. How can I safely taper off the Cymbalta? YYYY@YYYY Thank you.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Taking Cymbalta on a long term may make you suffer from Hypertension in future. If you are feeling better related to pain, under supervision of your doctor gradually taper the dose. Generally 20-30% dose reduction is advised based on the symptom profile upon reducing the dose. I hope I have answered to your query. Feel free to ask any further question.
