> I've been taking it for eight weeks now, one week at 30mg, six weeks at 60mg, and now one week at 90mg. I can't say that I've noticed any improvement in mood, but there are other improvements, so my doctor wants to try the higher dose to see if that makes a difference.

I don't take Cymbalta so I don't know how much effect it has on appetite.
You write about your weight on the 2000 board and then you say here that you don't want to be fat. Sounds a bit confusing.
Are you working with doctors about this? I hope someone has more experience with this medication to help. I think getting the depression under control is much more important than worrying about the weight issue. I wish you luck wiht this.
Sincerely,
