Are any of you on Cymbalta?  I have been for almost a year now - 60 mg.  Yesterday, my doctor upped my dosage to 120 mg.  That seems to be high to me but she says that she has several patients at that level and they are doing fine.  Do any of you take 120 mg?

Hi, Lia! I have never taken cymbalta. If you trust your dr. then I would think the dosage is right. In the past, when I was on antidepressants, I was prescribed very high doses. Higher than what the literature suggested. When I expressed concern, my dr. pretty much told me the same thing. He also said that my serotonin levels were much lower than normal & I would always need higher antidepressant dosages. I have since learned of others in the same boat. HTH GL & GBU! (((hugs))) jan
