Dr. Alan Ali answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Cymbalta (duloxetine): Fairly common adverse effect. If depression under control & u r taking the dose once a day, then splitting to 30 mg. Twice daily with meals, plus an antiacid, might help. Ofcourse, consult your doctor first.

Dr Villaplana and another doctor agreed
