Hi.
> I want to try Cymbalta almost as badly as yourself. However, I was never expecting much at 30mg from what I read regarding both the double blind and open trials. Here's the quote about the open label trial: "Patients were administered duloxetine 80 to 120 mg/day as two equal doses of 40 mg or 60 mg." So despite the fact that the label states no additional benefit beyond 60, I wonder.
They always say crap like that. Inevitably, there are always people who do better at higher dosages. I wouldn't want to stop until 120mg.
I'm kind of glad that my doctor asked that I remain at 30mg for a week. I am finding that somnolence is emerging as a side effect. I plan to go up to 60mg tomorrow or Thursday.
