Hi! I've been on 30 mg. Cymbalta (along with 600 mg. SAM-e and high EPA fish oil) for 6 or 7 months now. This combination worked great for a while, but lately, I've been feeling extremely obsessive-compulsive and depressed. I've been compulsively eating sugar and carbohydrates, and my motivation is completely sapped. I'm so preoccupied with myself and my health (both mental and physical) that I have no sex life and am being very unproductive in my life. Is this an indication that I'm not getting enough serotonin from this dosage? I hate to increase, as I know that Cymbalta is an extremely difficult drug to wean off of. And I don't to get increased side effects from it, either.
What are your experiences with this medication, and at what dosages? What does it sound like I need to do?
