>I would just add that dizziness can also be a symptom of untreated depression (autonomic instability), but I doubt that it is of the same magnitude as that seen in SRI withdrawal.
I agree, it's just that the time frame of the dizziness suggested a withdrawal reaction.
>Is there any reason why you would not have someone who responds partially to Cymbalta 30 mg/day increase the dosage to 60 mg/day?
I don't know Joe's situation, but I wouldn't consider Cymbalta a failure until someone had been on 60mg for a few weeks at least. I must admit I assumed he was stopping because it wasn't tolerated, but I could be completely wrong. I've not heard of much success on 90-120mg if 60mg didn't work, but it's important to try at least 60mg unless side effects are prohibitive. Do you agree?
