A member asked:
Dr. lowered dose from 60 to 30 cymbalta (duloxetine)...making me to hyper..am bipolar...could 30 possibly work
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, it could: Unfortunately, it will be trial and error. If you got manic 60 mg a day there's a decent chance that your mood could stabilize at 30 mg today. I've seen it happen in my practice. The main difficulty that we encounter is that it's impossible to predict. Best wishes.
