Re: Anyone doing well on 30mg of Cymbalta?

I lowered from a starting dose of 30mg to 20mg, then to 10mg, now I'm on 5mg (47 beads!) per day. I'm in week 6. I simply could not tolerate the higher doses which gave me sweats, extreme neck tightness, muscle tremors, elevated blood pressure, headaches, disturbed sleep, blurry vision, irritability. On 5mg I feel like I have energy for the first time in years, my Fibromyalgia pain is somewhat helped, and I feel a little happier, less anxious. I still have a tendency to wake up at 2am, unable to go back to sleep, but we'll remedy that at my next appointment. Guess everyone is so individual that one man's dose is another man's "poison".
