A member asked:
Would 40 mg of cymbalta (duloxetine) generally be considered to low a dose for ocd/depression/anxiety ..i am contemplating going to 60 with my dr's approval.

Talk to your doctor: If you're tolerating the 40 mg dose, and your symptoms are not controlled, then your doctor can titrate your dose to 60 mg.

Not low: since 60mg per day is the recommended maximum dose per day. Yes, do discuss with your doctor about why and what symptoms you need greater control over.
