SP,
I took Cymbalta for only two weeks and got worse so I stopped it and went on something else. When an AD makes you worse it usually is not the right medication for you. I was on 30 mg for 1 week, slept constantly, when increased to 60 mg, got less able to function and get out of bed and that told me the drug was making me much worse than the depression I had before taking it. An AD can often do this and my philosophy is anytime a med makes me worse, i should stop it and get on something else. My doctor agrees with me on this one after many episodes of depression making me suicidal, once the med is stopped i feel better which is a clear sign the med is making me worse.Hope you feel better soon and get a doctor that you can work with.
