LoL! No problem.
When I started Cymbalta, I was a basket case -- my experience with Effexor was so wonderful that I refused to consider it under any circumstances -- no way, no how, what's Plan B? The idea of taking what my new pdoc called "Effexor Junior" was right up there with the idea of having a prefrontal lobotomy.
Chemist was an absolute rock for me, and helped get me through the worst of it, and I'm still giving it a chance to do something for me. (NB: Effexor didn't do it for me, either, until Prozac was added. Even then, it was partial remission, and didn't last long.) Sometimes the worry is pretty overwhelming, and it does help to get support. At least, it helped me.
As for Cymbalta, it doesn't seem to have the same short half life that makes Effexor such a problem. My guess is that you'll do fine with once or twice a day dosing, and won't have to try to break up the capsules. Try it before you worry too much, 'K?
Hope that helps.
