Each one of those Cymbalta pellets is .1mg, so if you take ten pellets it is 1mg. I *started* at 3mg (30 pellets) and got an immediate hypomanic reaction. It kind of settled and fluxed over the course of a couple of weeks, but ended up making me panicky and it didn't get better. I tried *lower* doses which helped, but ended up off the stuff. I don't think it is so much the 5HT/Ne reuptake inhibition levels, I think it is a difference in affinity to agonize different receptor subtypes (super wild guess). Whew, if I would have taken 30mg all-at-once, I would likely have similar or worse problems that you are having.....
