Cymbalta - I’ve been on duloxetine for generalized anxiety for 3-1/2 years.
I’ve had the dose decreased slowly and have been on 30mg for two months now. Doctor said I could quit, but I’m afraid I would have anxiety again. I still have several side effects so I’d like to decrease it to 20mg. Do you think this low dose is effective for preventing anxiety?
