Heh -- I had such a problem with that amotivation thing that we lowered the Cymbalta to 20mg just because I couldn't handle that anymore.
Everyone is different.
Your mileage will vary.
That it happened to me does not mean it will happen to you.And besides -- as I recall, it was MUCH MUCH worse on Effexor...
Cymbalta is probably worth a try. Another option, though, if the Effexor is working for you otherwise, is to take to your doctor about one of the options to mitigate weight gain: the two bigs are Topomax and metformin.
Good luck.
