Can 60 mg of cymbalta (duloxetine) cause a bipolar patient more anxiety or is the dose perhaps too low?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
60 mg of : Cymbalta (duloxetine) could possibly cause a bipolar patient to flip into hypomania or mania (which might be interpreted as anxiety). If you feel worse on Cymbalta (duloxetine) please let your prescribing provider know promptly. Anxiety can occur with Cymbalta (duloxetine) with or without the presence of bipolar disorder.
