Today is the 2nd day I bumped up to 60 mg of Cymbalta, after being on it at 30 mg for 2 weeks. I feel better than I have felt in about 3 months. Not euphoric, but maybe... dare I say... normal. Today was also the first day I took no Effexor, after weaning down 75 mg per week, from 225mg to 0. I know, there's enough prohibitory advice on this board against stopping so abruptly, but I am going to do it this way and see what happens, and also to know whether what I am feeling is Cymbalta and not a Cymb/Effxr hybrid. Believe me, if I start to wig out after dumping Effexor after 4 years, I'll let you guys know.
So if you're taking Cymbalta, or considering taking it, keep your chin up, there might be hope. Everyone's personal experience is valid, even those who have only taken the med for 3 days. However, I am going to try to tune out the negative feedback and concentrate on my own head...
cheers
