I've been on it for about a year now, and it's been somewhat effective for me. (Effexor was only partially effective for me, and totally konked out after about two and a half years, by the way.)
If I were to guess, based solely on my own experience -- and your mileage will vary -- I'd wonder if the Lexapro was doing this, rather than the Cymbalta. At 5mg, Lexapro was doing nearly nothing for me. At 10mg, though, I couldn't be bothered to talk, move, think, etc. Just wanted to crawl into a hole and die. I had never experienced anything like that before. You might want to try another SSRI to see if that helps...
Good luck.
