In reply to lower dose Cymbalta, posted by jessers11581 on April 18, 2005, at 20:02:12
I'm doing very well on 60 which was my staerting dose. But I was previously on 40 mg Lexapro so that's why I started on ahigher dose of Cymbalta.
Stay on the 30 as long as possible. If and when it becomes less effective, then raise the dose.
I like Cymbalta. It's my favorite so far. The others I have been on are Prozac, Celexa, Lexapro, and (one more I forgot). Cymbalta makes me the least tired during the day with the least sexual side effects.
> Is there anyone out there who has had success with only 30 mg. of Cymbalta? This was my starting dose, and I still haven't increased it. I feel pretty good, and would prefer not to take any more medication that I absolutely have to. My doc says that 60 mg. is considered to be the therapeutic level. Is it normal for it to be working at 30 mg., or should I expect the effects to wear off after a while? Thanks in advance! :)
