I just started Cymbalta today. 30mg capsules 1x daily. Apparently reps are not even detailing the 20mg size. Some anyways are telling docs the 20mg are only for the a taper process which will involve withdrawal. Who cares I just want to get out of bed without so much a struggle.
Basically...The dosing situation is akin to prozac's where 20mg was used for Everybody. It's the same with Cymbalta apparently at except at 30mg BID. My doc says Lilly want's everybody to take 60mg right off the bat.
My greatest hope is that I don't develop the now well known and often experienced cluster of neurologic/serotonin/hypomanic symptoms that I always get on standard doses of ssri/snri antidepressants. I just want to get feeling okay without too many damn side effects or a switch into hypomania/mixed land.
Be well everyone.
