I didn't want to keep posting of my failure to respond to Cymbalta because I didn't want to discourage anyone. It seems that it is helping others, though.

>Thanks for responding. I have gone from 30mg (4 wks,)to 60mg in the morning for the past week and a half. I also take 2 mgs of klonopin at night, and chloral hydrate for sleep. I must be resistant to antidepressants too, because I have tried most of the others and had to stop due to side effects. Now all of a sudden my severe anxiety has disappeared and I am more not caring and have to walk or ride my bike all day cause I can't sit still. I have had an anxiety disorder since my 20's, and I was on benzos all that time and functioned very well. My DX is at first PTSD, then new DOC Major Depression. I am agoriphobic and can,t concentrate. what a mess! I'm tempted to stop all pills and go back to drinking at night! all replies appreciated.
