Dosage:
60 mg

Advice & Tips:
I stopped taking it w/out Dr.'s input to see if it was the cause of my excessive daytime sleepiness.
I can now last about 3 hours awake before I start getting tired; I don't think it was the Cymbalta.
Other med changes might have helped give me the extra 3 hours; too little, too late.

Advice & Tips:
If I miss the dose in the a.m., I can't take it later, or it will keep me up all night, which I certainly don't want or need. I guess it's worth all the worry of side effect, per doctor recommendation.
