> So you take a total of 80mg of cymbalta? Why do you split it? Fondlly, Phillipa ps how long did it take to get it so high?
That was an error.. its actually 60 + 30.. 90mg.
I take the bulk in the early afternoon because its theoretically stimulating although not at a level I notice, the rest at night.
I can't quite recall -- I think I changed from Luvox to Cymbalta about a year ago when Cymbalta was out and was starting to be regularly prescribed. I was on 60mg, 30 + 30, I believe.. for a while, then 80mg -- 30 + 20, 30... and most recently the past month 60, and 30. We may go higher but the insurance company is ridiculous when managing Cymbalta -- they only hand out so many of so many pills and when the combination of pills gets to a point they wont hand out another size even if they get whatever lame high copay (I'm on a PPO) they get. This company shall remain nameless. They are totally wierd because they'll prescribe what seems to be any amount of Seroquel as long as they get their $100.
But I'm glad I have this coverage as one of Clinton's legacies, whether one believes in him or not politically, was HIPAA, which is the Health Insurance Portability and Acountability Act of 1996, which guarantees coverage after you have exausted COBRA (Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act)coverage. Its not free, but its required of the insurance companies to comply portability.
