Struggling with Cymbalta Withdrawal

I am on Cymbalta for depression and nerve pain. In 2019 I was walking and hit by a car. I broke my tibia and fibula. Im trying to get off of Cymbalta because it isn’t really helping my anxiety or depression but both times I’ve tried to tapper off my pain skyrockets! Ugh! Any thoughts?
