Sometime the dosage can be up to 60 mg. sometime the person can need to take up to 120mg but there is no shown beneficial effect when a person is taking more than 60 mg while the safety of the people who are taking more than 120 is not known.

I have been given the cymbalta for the high blood pressure and it has now worked pretty well for me. I now have the blood pressure around 140/70 however, recently my pressure went up to 150/80 when I was taking another diuretic (hydrocholorothiazide). I have never got any regrets in taking this medicine for all the years I have been using it. Thanks to the cymbalta, I no longer suffer nausea, lightheadedness or chronic headaches. I also live a happy life and I no longer fear to undergo emergency hospitalization because of high blood pressure. My life has also been improved in great deal since I begun to take this medication.
I have been given tenormin (cymbalta) because of my high blood pressure. I am given a combination of the Tenormin and Dyazide everyday and now I have been taking them for around 30 years now (I am already 80). I have found out that combo works well with me. I always had a very high pulse rate with a high diastolic pressure. Now they have been completely regulated by combo. My dosage is slightly higher but it comes with benefits. I have no more any symptoms of my high blood pressure and I feel happier. The problem is that I need to take the medicine on regular basis to reduce any high blood pressure occurrence again.
I have been using cymbalta for the problem of ventricular Tachycardia. Since I begun to use the drug, I have never had any noticeable side effects with the medication. I tried to stop it one week ago and I have found out that I cannot live without cymbalta. My heart palpitations became too high and because I was already taking it because I had post heart attack, I wish I could have listened to my doctor. However, since the time I begun to use the medicine I have never suffered any heart attack and I feel calmer now since I do not fear to face any heart attack complications.
None but Cymbalta is my and my doctor’s choice to keep me going when depression attacks me
