It's unusual to start cymbalta on a 2x30mg dose daily. Normal protocol is to start on 30 mg daily for a week or two and build up to 60. It can even be done by taking the 60 only on alternate days for a while to make it even more gradual. It's not that helpful to start you on 2 new drugs at the same time because it creates exactly that problem you now have of having to get off both because nobody knows what is causing the problem. Slow and steady and one at a time is better and safer.
Keep hanging in there with the "marathon not sprint". It is tiring especially when all your hopes are invested in the next appointment, drug, treatment, person etc and each time they are dashed. You will eventually learn not to invest all of your hopes like this to protect yourself from the emotional roller coaster but it takes a bit of time and practice. I was hopeless at it for the first 2 years! After that I got great at it!
