@A MyFibroTeam Member I am on 60mg as well and I can't go any higher.
@A MyFibroTeam Member it has taken a lot of the edge off but it may be giving me headaches however I am not sure if they are from the cymbalta. Good luck!
I take it. It seems like 60 mg helps but when I try 90 mgs, I start hurting more. I find that true for many medications--Lyrica being one of them.
That's good to know i was meant to start mine yesterday but there was a problem with my prescription 😯 so looks like Monday now. I start on 30mg then after 2 weeks it goes up to 60my so will see how I get on. Thank you for getting back to me 👌
I am currently on 90 mg of Cymbalta. I was on 60 mg for about a year until freshman year of college this year. Previously I remember trying 90 mg but it caused terrible side effects. Now i take 30 in morning and 60 in evening and am doing well overall.
