By what point should Cymbalta have kicked in, if it is going to work? I've done a week of 30mg and then 10 days at 60mg. Still feel the same. Almost no side effects except some fatigue. I have atypical double depression (ADD-like symptoms, when not depressed am polar opposite of ADD). My doc put me on Lamictal for 5 weeks which was an absolute nightmare. I did eventually begin to start to concentrate a little better, but I was angry all the time and raged at my kids. Now I am back to my normal patient self, but my concentration is awful again.
Took 6 weeks of Paxil 10 years ago which made me feel worse WRT concentration. Wellbutrin used to help, but now screws up my REM sleep too much. I can no longer take it.
