Why the slow titration up? Is it because the stomach pain. After two months on a med and no real mood response it is probably time to increase dosage.They went up to 120mg of cymbalta in a week and a half on me while i was in the hospital. i was also taking zyprexa with it. I stopped taking it after about 2 and 1/2 weeks. I wish I could comment on the efficacy, but obviously never gave it enough time. I was more frustrated with the zoning out spells I had while on it, but the zyprexa could have been causing that. Who knows.
