Thanks. Having experienced cold turkey more than enough times over the years, I'd be afraid of that. Don't know what will happen, but I stopped Cymbalta yesterday and took half the fluoxetine. Yesterday and last night were hell, but this morning so far has been giving me hope that the worst might be over. Today I will resume my regular fluoxetine. The half-life of Cymbalta is short, and fluoxetine's is long, so based on what my pharmacist suggested we'll see. If I never post again, you will know this is not the best way to make this particular change.
CT scan tomorrow to see if the lung spot found during the bone survey is anything extra for concern. And Hooray for the ACA's survival!
