Hi
When i took cymbalta the first week was similar to your description: quite sickly and unpleasant. There was a 'high' which i look back on as uncharacteristically optimstic but it only lasted for a week or so. Really though i think my mood was as good as it's been on this, but 60mg is the only dose you want to be on and with it came a set of difficulties with sleep, wakefulness, libido. A pity it isn't more user friendly at the theraputic dose.
In your case i would try an intermediate dose - 40mg works for some. Give it at least 4 weeks before you go down, up, or switch.
