Hi Phillipa,
I'm not certain as to how long you were on 60mg. I would think a two month trial would be adequate. I have a very bad heart condtion and my blood pressure jumped more than a few mm as indicated in the package insert so the drug is out for me. Buy a reliable blood pressure monitor and insist on liver enzyme tests periodically if you choose to go this route.
I hate to interfere with a doctor's rationale because I don't have all the facts. I wouldn't go to 120 mg if I felt I gave Cymbalta an adqequate and fair trial.
