If you're Rx 60mgs Cymbalta (30mgs twice daily) what time are you taking the second dose. I'm curious what time others take their second dose. I take mine at bedtime. Thanks Jeopardy

In reply to CYMBALTA question, please give some feedback., posted by jeopardy on October 21, 2004, at 19:05:25
I am suppose to move from lexapro to cymbalta 60mg on sat morning. My doc says it will either jack me up or make me sleepy. Thus, take the 60 mg when it makes sense.

Sounds like another Internet-made fallacy that sounds really smart-- one of those things you repeat to your doctor and your doctor laughs over how inane it sounds. Anyone know anything about this, or could validate this somehow??

Hi, I've been on Cymbalta for about 2 and a half weeks. Started at 30 and then to 60 this week. I take it in the morning as I feel it causes some insomnia if I take it later in the day. After being on Remeron for several months, insomnia was a real switch for me! I'd rather be awake than a zombie, though.
