You can ween yourself of anything.
I wouldn't suggest it at all. Just from personal experience, I developed a moderate case of serotonin syndrome while weening myself off Lexapro to switch to Cymbalta. Had I taken my regular dosage of Lexapro (20mg) with the 20mg of Cymbalta, I probably would have ended up in the ER.
You should wean yourself slowly from this medication as withdrawal and side effects can be uncomfortable. Wean yourself off slowly by 25 to 50 mg - almost identically to the way in which you started taking the drug - under the supervision of your physician.
Your doctor should help wean you off of it, if your doing it alone, you can probably start by lowering your daily dosage by cutting the pills in half for a month or 2, but it might be better and safer to have your doctor wean you off.
If I were you I wouldn't take st john wort. I've heard that it can make ptsd worse in some cases. I would try wellbutrin or budiproprion (Spelling) instead. Slowly wean from cymbalta. It can make you severely depressed and or manic even if you have never been. Also wellbutrin and the budi meds are the most natural meds they make for ptsd, depression, etc. if that's what your worried about. Good luck! :)
it means to quit something all of at once! you don't "wean" yourself off it.
To wean yourself off of ADHD medication, consult your healthcare professional. It is dangerous with many drugs (including drugs used to treat ADHD) to discontinue use abruptly and can result in withdrawal symptoms. Ask for a lower dose and slowly discontinue use.
Talk to your doctor! Going off of anti-depressants and/or starting another drug is something that they should definitely know about and advise you on.
Cut the pill in half to reduce your dose and slowly start taking it less.
You're making things worse trying to do this yourself. Have a doctor help you to wean yourself off so you won't get so many withdrawal symptoms. There are good medications that help with this, and a good doctor can provide help and instruction to get yourself clean! Bromfed DM isn't going to help.
