Hi All,
Mini Haha, thanks for asking about me (I have a serious "I don't matter" complex...). I am envious of you feeling the magic:-)
Cymbalta, so far, has not been the answer for me. I had such high hopes that I think I am in denial that it's not working right now. I'm still waiting for it to kick in. The only side effect I have experienced is some insomnia.
I had been taking Prozac for the last 10 years (Major Clinical Depression, Recurrant=diagnosis). About 2.5 years ago I experience "poop out," and have been on various cocktails ever since. My mainstay was 60-80 Prozac, 300 Wellbutrin, and 1mg Klonopin to go to sleep.
So, right now I am on 60 Cymbalta, 300 Wellbutrin, and 1mg Klonopin.
I'm going to give it some more time, and then I'm going to ask my pdoc if I can go up to 80mg Cymbalta.

> OK, Earthgirl, as far as I can tell, you should have been on Cymbalta about 6 weeks now. Is that close enough to the 7th-inning stretch? How's it going? Also, could you refresh us on what your DX/symptoms/treatment plan was (were) before you started Cymbalta?
