Thanks everyone for your helpful thoughts! I was previously on a very high dose of EffexorXR (300 mg) and my blood pressure was extremely high. The minute I started titrating down and adding in the Cymbalta, my blood pressure (which had always been normal) immediately went back to that.

I am also augmenting the Cytomel with 150 mg Desipramine (75 in am and 75 at nite) I guess my feeling about increasing mg on Cymbalta (after reading all your posts) is that if I decide to go up, I will know very quickly (as I am very aware of how the meds affect me) if it is helpful or not. There was a time many years ago, when I had a bout of depression and a JUST a simple 30 mg of Prozac or Celexa was all that I needed to get over the hump. This one has been a nightmare - my daughter (who is 14) says she does not even remember how I used to be before I got so sick.

I think that the hardest thing for people to understand is that this time I lost so much of WHO I USED TO BE, HOW I HANDLED LIFE and I can't seem to get it back...
Thanks again for all your comments -Good luck to all of you....!!
