I have tried so many anti-depressants over the past 20 years and never found one that worked until the last few months. My doc has me on 120 mg of Cymbalta a day and my depression has lifted tremendously. First time I haven't routinely felt suicidal in a long time. I hope this lasts!!!

When we refer to Docs. as practicing psychiatry I honestly think they are using us as guinea pigs. They practiced on me for years, and I still can be thrown for a loop very easily. I haven't been able to work in years and have finally found a combination that is helpful but I sleep 10 hrs a day.
You may need a few tweeks but enjoy feeling good. It takes a long time to find the right combination.
I wish they could plug us into a machine like a car and be able to tell what chemical we are in need of. but then that would be too easy and would mess with the pharmaceutical and psychiatric BIZ. And it is a Biz!!
