Cymbalta 40mg

I have been taking cymbalta now for 6 weeks my dr upped me from 30mg to 4g 3 weeks ago. I feel very down in the morning still & jittery symptoms seem to get better as the day goes on, however I do take .125mg oh klonapin if needed for anxiety.
My question is do you think upping to 60mg will help?? I really don't want to come off them as tried so many!!!!
Please any help or advice very much appreciated.

Hello, Phoebe! How are you?

It would be best to give the current dose time to reach its full level of efficacy in your body, to see how much it will help you, before making a decision to raise it, again, or not. It usually takes about 4 to 5 weeks.

The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and weight changes.

How long have you been on the 40mg dose, now?
