30 mg of Cymbalta for one month has alternated between making depression slightly worse, and helping a little bit. Side effect is nausea, combatted with ginger. Pdoc says adequate trial is 60 for at least 3 weeks. Is this others' experience? Also, how do you take your 60? Two 30 mg capsules or one 60? I tried 2 30 mg one day and got too nauseous to move so retreated back down to 30.
Also on 125 Lamictal, 50 mg Dexedrine, and xanax for sleep. If I can't handle the 60 Cymbalta, strategy is to add Prozac to bump up the serotonin, since Prozac has worked "better than nothing" various times before. Thanks!
