Well, I finally upped my Cymbalta dose to 60 mg. and notice that I have started to feel extremely irritable and bitter towards the world. At work today, I literally wanted to kill all my customers because they were getting on my nerves so bad. Is this normal? When I first started taking Cymbalta at 30 mg. a day, I felt great. But after about a week, that died away so I went ahead and did the increase that my doctor had originally recommended. And now I feel like a complete mega-b!#@h! I almost think maybe I need to be focusing exclusively on serotonin and should just forget about norepinephrine and dopamine. What do you guys think? I did great on SSRI's for years and years. I think the problem is that I just developed a tolerance for them. My favorite is Celexa, but I had to keep raising the dose over the years. Does anyone know if 50 mg. is too much? What sorts of side effects might that dose produce? When I stopped taking Celexa about a month ago, I was at 40 mg., which didn't seem to be quite cutting it. If I go up any more, will I become a completely lethargic, non-sexual being? Man, I'm so freaking confused right now. I'll be so happy when all of this is over.
