Doc just bumped me up to 120mg cymbalta

Anybody else on this dose? Did going up from 60mg help? Did the side effects increase for you? He wants me to try this for a month and if it doesnt help maybe wants to check into adding some lamictal.

I just got bumped up to 120mg as well. I started my 120mg dose today. I really don't feel any effects on the depression side of things, my anxiety feels like it might be getting better. I am feeling nauseous as a hell (again). YEah..we should keep each other posted. What is your diagnosis?

Just plain old depression and some mild anxiety. Today is my fourth day at 120mg. I think its helping. At 60mg I used to get this rush for a few hours in the morning after I took it and the first morning I took 120mg I was REALLY wound up. But since then its seems like its gone back to normal. Other than that, none of the other side effects have returned. I seem to be sleeping a little better at night.

Hey so, how is it going?

I'm ending my first week on 120mg.

I feel like everything is in slow motion and like i'm walking through a thick fog.

The depression that was suppose to be treated with the Cymbalta seems to be WORSE than it was when I started.

The anxiety?? At an all time high. What the heck!

Maybe this isn't the right med. for me.

Well crap, I'm sorry to hear that. Now I'm gonna feel bad after I tell you I've been doing great at 120mg(knock on wood). I think going up was just what I needed.

I wish I knew what to tell ya. Maybe 120mg is too much? Maybe 90mg would be better? Sorry to hear you arent doing well.
