In reply to New PDoc RX'd High Dose Cymbalta, posted by Phillipa on December 22, 2005, at 16:29:24
Hi Phillipa
I am on Cymbalta too- just started 60mg after being on 30mg. I stayed on 30mg longer than the Dr. recommended, but started getting really tired so thought I should go to recommended dose. I have to say, I sleep more than ever which isn't what I was hoping for. My Dr. assures me on 60mg that will get better.
I heard the same thing you did....anything over 60mg isn't useful, but I have an appointment with my PDoc tomorrow and will ask him.
Good luck on it and safe travels.
Shelly
> Saw the new pdoc and he rx'd 30mg cymbalta for a week, then 60mg for a week, then 90mg for a week, then 120mg for a week. I told him the manufacturer claims doses over 60mg don't give any more response. He said his average dose is 120mg . Any thoughts, comments appreciated. Won't start til I get back. Oh we're leaving now till Monday but I will have computer access. So please write. Love Phillipa
