Hey, hang on, 'K?
Cymbalta has been a mixed bag for me, at best, but it has certainly sapped my will to initiate actions. Without Provigil, I would be where you are. And I nearly got suicidal myself, when I was spending all day just lying on the sofa like a lump, berating myself for not doing all the things I should have been doing.
But you know what? It's the drug. So, it can go away, either with augmentation, or discontinuance. It's not permanent.
I know how frustrating it is for me to have so much trouble finding something that works and is tolerable. I know that it's easy to feel like giving up. I give up about twice a day, but remind myself that I can always stop the drug.
Have you talked to your doctor about this yet? What does he/she say?
I hope this eases for you soon. Be well.
