What is a normal dose of cymbalta (duloxetine) for depression?
7 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
60 mg: Cymbalta (duloxetine) generally is a less than average effective antidepressant. It originally was withdrawn from the market briefly when it didn't show expected effectiveness. A second introduction was barely adequate until it was found to work well for diabetic peripheral neuropathy and became widely used. It now has use in fibromyalgia and other chronic pain as well as for depression in some patients.

30 to 120 mg: Depends on the person & the problem probably most r on 30 to 60 but in my psychiatric practice with more difficult problems 60 to 120 mg.
