> Ok short and sweet....Major depression/anxiety....long term.....tried em all...plus recent ect.....I had been on Lexapro most recently in 06, with Remeron and Ativan....recently switched to Cymbalta and Xanax....I hate both...the head doc....when I metered down off the Lexapro and started at 20 mg of Cymbalta, I felt feelings that I never had before...anger, agression,...plus total confusion...then he bumped it up to 60....I was on the floor literally...crawl to the bathroom then back to the floor...two weeks ago I went back to 20....to help at all........Anyone had success with the 2005 wonder drug?? I go back tomorrow to the head shed and am trying to decide what to ask for or suggest..........a bucket of cold ones??

Cymbalta does not seem to be a wonder drug. I don't think it's efficacy has been well characterized, though.

What did you do with the Remeron? Perhaps there is an adverse interaction between these drugs.

I experienced an intitial positive antidepressant response to Cymbalta that lasted for about a week. This is a common scenario with my case, though. I found the drug surprisingly fatiguing.
