I was on 60 mg of cymbalta for 4 weeks. recently went up to 90 mg. I think I'm getting better response. but I also feel more disoriented and loopy.
Anyways. I don't know anything about standard doses of antipsychotics. My guess is that your pdoc wanted to get the maximum response in the shortest time. So he was willing to risk having more side effects, in the interests of seeing more real effects. hmm. but why not aim to use the smallest effective dose? I think that's a good approach too. better than frightening the patient away from using the meds at all.
I hope you can find another pdoc (closer to you?)
best wishes,
