Sandi,
I'd say the biggest risk you'd be taking is changing a regimen that's working well. I was doing well on Effexor years ago then tried to get off because I thought something else might work better. It didn't. I went back on Effexor but that time did less well. So I tried something else. Even worse. Back to Effexor again. This time it worked even less well (but with the full complement of side effects.) Every time I've gone off and back on it has worked less well.
If Cymbalta turns out to be great for you, you'll win. But if not, getting back to your current good state might not be so easy.
Good luck,
Marsha
