120mg: Cymbalta (duloxetine) effective dose range for pain is 60-120mg/ day with food, but always is based on md recommendation for each given patient.

Difficult to say: This is a very difficult question to answer because of drug drug interactions between the two, and the fact that these have a lot to do with an enzyme in your liver called the cytochrome p450 2d6 enzyme system. It would be preferable to know your "isoenzyme status" so that your psychiatrist could more safely gauge the maximum dose of Cymbalta (duloxetine) for you in that situation.Best wishes.
