I can't think of any downside to using Ativan to reduce the intensity of the Cymbalta withdrawal. You will be taking it for such a short period, that you will not become physiologically dependent on it. I have been playing around with the idea of using Trileptal to help with the withdrawal effects from discontinuing BZD or SRI. Anyway, it is fortunate that you have been offered the Ativan. Please post your progress. I am rooting for you!
