My doctor increased my duloxetine from 60mg to 90mg. Im scared to increase it because it took me so long to find something that works. I'm worried if i increase it i won't be able to go back down or ever come off.

Duloxetine dosage range is 60-120 mg. I hope ur psychiatrist must have increased your dosage looking at partial response with the 60 mg dosage and hence may have increased. U can either discuss this with your current psychiatrist or seek second opinion
