[Corriendo]

Not to suggest anyone does what I am doing, but,... I just took an extra (60) cymbalta because,... Well, I was going down,and fast. I have been on 60/ day for 5 yrs or so and although the depression lifted greatly here and there during time, it always came back with, big hospitalizations from crashes, and the pain guys say it is good for pain too, so we have kept it. RECENTLY, I walked in on a giant heartbreak on Valentine's Day ( imagine the worst), and the depression has hit harder than the first onset. So, for the last 3 weeks I have been trying to exercise, motivate, do anything to get up, but it have been in bed for the last three days and finally had the bright idea to just double up. I remember long ago, the first day I took cymbalta a fog lifted, so that is my hope now. I understand that it takes a good while to get things going, but I distinctly recall that day the very first cymbalta just changed the scenery from grey monochrome to technicolor, in just a couple of hours. Maybe it's just my brain chemicals,... We will see. But I will report back
Hang in there!

Who knows you may go down even faster now , that's how overdose starts, people go I wonder if a took double the amount I will be out of trouble. I have just took double my meds but at a different level 10 -20 MG but that's my script dose anyway , yours isn't 120 Cymbalta . I hope you get away with it but you may flight like a kite . To big a jump my friend I fear .

Well I just started on Cymbalta about a month ago -- 30mg 2x/day. Saw pdoc yesterday and he doubled my dose - to 60mg 2x/day. So from 60mg/day to 120mg/day. Just started it today, hoping it helps because my depression has been very difficult.

Most often when they increase your dose they double it. they always have with me anyway.
The problem is without your pdoc doing it for you and calling in a new script you won't have enough to keep taking that amount.
