I don't know if Cymbalta is actually treating my depression or merely making me not care that I feel depressed.

I have too much black bile and phlegm, and too little yellow bile and blood.
My pdoc some time ago suggested adding Seroquel to the Cymbalta, but I don't think that's such a good idea. The name "Seroquel" is derived from the words "serum" and "quell": Seroquel reduces the blood. But I need more blood!
Does anybody know which meds increase blood and yellow bile?

This doesn't sound quite like Traditional Chinese Medicine, but it sounds similar.

I'm taking 60 mg/day, which I believe is the standard dose for depression.
As to your second question, please see my response to Sigismund below.
