> Six of one, half dozen of the other. I have lethargy, fatigue, etc, and just lowered Cymbalta to 30 mg from 60. Today is the first day I've felt really awake in ages, which I assume is partly soemthing not related to meds, and partly placebo effect, and maybe partly the meds. Who knows?

Otherwise, it's been ongoing, and we're still in the tweaking stage of trying to get me to a place where I'm not depressed, but also not lethargic, amotivated, and generally good for something beyond holding down the sofa.Now, now, Racer, lets not put ourselves down. There are a lot of sofas that need to be held down!
How long were you on the cymbalta? When was your brief period of non-lethargy? Mine was for 2 weeks 2 1/2 months into it. My doctor is lowering my dosage by 30 mgs, so hopefully that will wake me up without withdrawal.
Well, I've gotta go. There's a lot of space, and I need to stare into it.
