In reply to Cymbalta half-life math, posted by Wildflower on October 9, 2005, at 15:06:58
Doesn't sound right to me, but I'm not any kind of expert.
Cymbalta has a shortish half-life, as I recall, maybe around 12 hours or so? If that's true, than taking the next dose 24 hours later, you're already past the point when half the medication would be out of your system. Trying to equal 40mg by taking 60mg two days in a row and nothing the third just doesn't sound to me like the way to do it.
Again, that's just me, and I certainly don't know as much as others here, let alone your doctor. I look forward to reading something from someone with more knowledge of this area.
