" I was just put on Cymbalta on 3/20/08. I have no nausea. Did they start you out on too high of a dose? My Rhuemy put me on 30 mgs a day and in 2 weeks I fill a prescription out for 60 mgs a day. I was on Lexapro 20 mgs per day until I started on Cymbalta..that is probably why I don't have the nausea?

Hope this helps you.
