There is a lower dose of Cymbalta if you find it hard to tolerate this one, 20mg is another option for start up, if you don't want to feel too many intense side effects. Nausea was the worst for me at 30mg, I wanted to go down so badly, but the cost was even deadly, ugh! I wish I had done that instead of gone through all the crap I did. And the symptoms you are feeling are normal with an SNRI. Remember to keep a schedule with these meds. Take it the same time every day with a meal to decrease nausea. Best of luck!
