Will taking 60 mg. of cymbalta (duloxetine) for several years cause me to end up with a movement disorder?

You mean for sure?: You need to educate yourself about the different classes of psychotropic medications & their mechanisms of action. The drugs most likely to cause dyskinesias or dystonias are the neuroleptics (phenothiazines etc). Recent data suggest the risk with Cymbalta (duloxetine) is ~1 in 200. Personally, I doubt it's even that high. Knowledge is power. Arm yourself.
