This is the short version of what to do for antidepressant withdrawal.

On this page you will find steps to do if:

If you are in antidepressant withdrawal now

If you are taking an antidepressant, have not started reducing it but you have side effects

If you are already off the antidepressant and experiencing withdrawal still

If you are already off the antidepressant and experiencing withdrawal still  

Most of you coming to The Road Back website are already in withdrawal from the antidepressant to some degree. Reading a full book and finding your way through this website is likely the last thing you wish to do at this point. This page is short and to the point for you.

If you are in antidepressant withdrawal now: Go to Neuro Genetic Solutions and get Package A. Click Here This gives you 4 supplements. JNK Formula Complete, Neuro Day, Neuro Night and Omega 3 Supreme. Each bottle gives you a 30 day supply. You can follow the instructions on the bottle label for when to take and how much to take.

If you are having brain zaps or any head symptoms, the Omega 3 Supreme will be your best buddy. You may need to take 2 softgels twice a day for a couple of days to get rid of the head symptoms.

Until your package arrives; go to any store and look for the highest amount of EPA in an omega 3 fish oil you can find and use in the interim.

Stomach upset: Drink a couple cups of ginger tea a day.

With the medication: Get with your doctor and discuss going back up to the last dosage you were doing well at. I know this can seem like you are losing ground on the withdrawal but ultimately this will save you a lot of time. Get stable again and when your supplements arrive you should feel the difference very quickly.

Once you start the supplements, do not reduce the antidepressant again for at least 2 weeks. If at all possible, only reduce the medication by 10 percent. Only reduce by 10% every 2 weeks as long as you are doing very well.

You can compound most medications to achieve a 10% reduction. Talk with your pharmacy.

If you are taking Cymbalta; Eli Lilly ran a study a few years ago to see how Cymbalta could be given to elderly in a lower dosage. The information in that study can be used to help reduce Cymbalta as well.  

You will need a scale that weighs milligrams.

In the study they open up the Cymbalta capsule and put some of the Cymbalta beads in applesauce. The person then swallowed the applesauce, without chewing the beads.

Very important you do not chew the Cymbalta beads.

The study used Motts applesauce and I do suggest you do the same. The pH remained the same and the amount of time it took the Cymbalta to dissolve in the stomach remained the same as it did within the capsule.

Some people have used this approach with Effexor and other medications but there has not been a study run on them like was done with Cymbalta. Results may vary with other medications.

If you are taking an antidepressant, have not started reducing it but you have side effects Do not reduce your medication. Stay where you are at.

Get Package A ( Click Here ) from Neuro Genetic Solutions and take them as described on the bottle.  

Get to a point where you are feeling much better and then decide if you wish to withdrawal from the antidepressant.

If you are already off the antidepressant and experiencing withdrawal still. Package A ( Click Here ) from Neuro Genetic Solutions is your answer as well.

Relief can come quickly. Don't give up hope. There is Hope and There is a Solution
