But if Prozac doesn't need to be tapered down before quiting to take Cymbalta, isn't the horrible withdrawal from the neurotransmitters being unblocked then, not so much the type of medicine, as long as it does the same thing.

Personally, I will not start a new drug until I have been off an old drug for a number of weeks. It just creates too many variables.
