> I too am on Cymbalta, but have not noticed any improvement. Was on 30mgs for 2 wks, then went up to 60mgs for 3 wks and had to cut back to 30mgs. I wass dreaming on 30mgs and not on 60mgs, and felt dead, but my pulse was always high and I had more anxiety. I also take l.5mgs daily of Klonopin and chloral hydrate to sleep. I seem to do better on a low dose and have been taking some of the spanules out of the pills to further reduce the dose to see how that works. It would be interesting to lower the Klonopin and see how my anxiety is, and if the dead feeling goes away.
*Let me put my 2 cents in. I went from Effexor 120 to Cymbalta. When the Cymbalta wasn't kicking in I eventually went up to 120mgs a day, but over the last month I've gone back to 30 mgs a day. I don't know if I should have waited for the Cymbalta to kick in, or if the Effexor had a withdrawal effect. Anyway, the Cymbalta is good at 30 mgs, and I speak up in public like never before. Helps a lot at work. Weird.
