Responses vary: Each individual patient responds differently to each medication, so there is no way to directly compare fluoxetine and duloxetine or to predict how you will respond to a particular dose. In general, dosing of fluoxetine ranges between 20-60mg, while duloxetine is typically dosed between 30 and 60mg.

Cymbalta (duloxetine): 30mg. Cymbalta (duloxetine) is low dose, and your doctor can help you adjust the dose as tolerated.
