Q: when starting cymbalta what dose is recommended for someone that has been on other antideppressants
Thank you for your question and welcome to AnxietyConnection.com.
I am not a medical professional and would not be able to give you medical advice.
It is impossible to say what the correct starting dose would be for you. Each person reacts differently to medication because each person metabolizes medication differently and the dosing can be different based on weight, lifestyle and other medications.
Your doctor would know best on what dose to start you on. I would suggest, however, keeping a log of symptoms so you can share with your doctor how the medication is working. For more information see:Monitoring the Effectiveness of Medication
