In reply to Who else is on 40mg Cymbalta?, posted by Colleen D. on November 25, 2004, at 19:48:03
I have been on 40 mg of Cymbalta for a month, with no improvement. In fact, it seems my anxiety is worse. I thought maybe I need to go up higher, tried 60 mg for a few days and it seemed worse. I have decided to try a mood stabilizer--Lamictal. I will probably drop Cymbalta.
Previously I have been on Zoloft, Prozac, Remeron, Paxil, Buspirone, Lexapro, Geodon, and Anafranil.
I have depression and GAD
Paxil and Anafranil were the best, as they also seemed to help anxiety as well. BUT both caused weight gain, especially Paxil. If I get into trouble I know Anafranil is there. It felt like a more balanced med than the SSRIs.
