I take cymbalta. I'm in week 3 of 60 mg. I also took 1 week of 30 mg prior to that.
I found the first 2 weeks to be pretty foggy brained. BUT, I also take 25 mg of seroquel for insomnia, and the combination of major depression/cymbalta/seroquel/insomnia is not ideal for producing clear thoughts. HOWEVER!! this week, I am doing much better. my thoughts are clearer. I can concentrate better, and my memory fog is getting better too.
I take seroquel and cymbalta in the pm. my pdoc said that I can sleep off the side effects.
I feel funny if I take my dose even a few hours (2-3 hours late). I have a bad mood, and I feel hot and cold and hot and cold and I get these tremors.
you might try adjusting the dose timing over the course of a few days
8am-10am-12pm-2pm-4pm-6-pm etc until on day 10 you are at your bedtime.
I'm feeling much better this week, in terms of all of my depression symptoms. less anhedonia, better concentration, better appetite, better mood, better motivation.
I have no input regarding wellbutrin.
I am doing well on cymbalta, I will probably stick with it.
yours,
