Anti-depressants work differently for different people. Like shoe shopping. One brand may fit poorly, but a different brand is perfect. Find what works for you. Go to a TRUSTED psychiatrist that is fully educated about these meds. That's my opinion.
I had a bad situation happen with an anti-d, and my GP had no idea what to do. It was a nightmare.

Living Daze,
If you don't mind me asking are you off Cymbalta now and if so how long did you take it for?
I did stop it cold turkey, with no real side effects last month, however was only taking 30mg for a few months. My doctor said that only long term users have side effects.
However I underestimated its painkilling qualities, because when I went off it I had a constant headache. I am now upto 60mg with very good results, but I hope it will be a short term treatment.
