Maybe I should of gave cymbalta more time when I tried the switch a couple years ago. I had the same thing going on with it making me anxious and irritable. I think I went down to 150mg of effexor when I started cymbalta. I hope it works out for you. I know we have both been bothered with the sexual side effects of effexor. Keep in touch and let me know how its going. It would probably be a wise choice to up the seroquel for the time being.
