Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

The dosage and its effectiveness depends on the indication for which it is used.

Well, if a common indications like Major Depressive Disorder and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder are considered Cymbalta of 60 mg equals to 50 mg of Zoloft.

I do not think 5 mg or 10 mg is anywhere of same efficacy as cymbalta 60 mg.

Hope, I answered your query.
