I take Cymbalta and within a week I was feeling better. I'm on the maximum dose of 120mg per day. I take 60mg twice a day. It has really helped me alot. I have major depressive disorder (clinical depression) and I'll be on medication the rest of my life. I've been on medication for probably 30 years already. 
I hope and pray that your meds start working soon. In the meantime, try to stay busy. Do anything that will take your mind off of things. Listen to uplifting music. And post here -- we'll be here to help you. God bless and please take care of YOU. Hugs, Lee   |
