Hi, TatteredandTorn
I'm sticking to taking the 30mg daily (couldn't be bothered to phone doc and say what I'd done -he wouldn't of minded anyway )
It's taken away the effexor withdrawal.
Docs just don't realise the agony of coming off effexor and other meds.
I think I'll notice more positive effects of Cymbalta when I switch to 60mg.
I'm taking klonopin and Gabapentin also.I take Stablon somedays to add a little serotonin and Provigil sometimes for daytime sleepyness - both drugs I bought from overseas...doc knows I do this...whatever gets me through the day , as long as I'm sensible it's ok.
Hope the Cymbalta is working for you.
