Sabino,
Yea, the Cymbalta doesn't seem to have the same effectiveness as Effexor, and the sexual SE are about the same. I'll stay on the Cymbalta for about 10 more days when I see my GP. Did you have the same sexual SE on Remeron? My GP says that's what she will switch me too, because it's not as bad in that area.
Gauging by other posts, my depression is fairly mild - in fact mood stabilizers might be more of what I need right now. It's the insomnia that's killing me.
In fairness, my job that requires I travel every week provides for little consistency when it comes to the same bed every night. Gosh I miss that! So, life on the road just adds to the insomnia dilemia. I just haven't been able to find a good and effective way to shut down my mind in the evening. It's like the energizer bunny. It just keeps going and going and going.... I might try Lunesta when I talk to my GP.
Fondly,
redjr...
