Has it passed?I did not experience anything like that when I first started Cymbalta. However, it does remind me of the reaction I had when I tried my first antidepressant, imipramine. After my first dose, I felt slightly energized, but irritable. It disappeared within a day or two.
It is difficult to account for the many startup side effects that these drugs can produce. Hopefully, the irritability will disappear quickly. These drugs do take a while to work. It might be 3 weeks before you begin to sense an improvement.
Good luck.
