As the earlier poster said, we all react differently. I'm taking 60mg/d of Cymbalta and if anything I find it motivating rather than causing apathy. It also doesn't lower my libido, though it does affect my ability to get an erection and my ability to orgasm. It also causes constipation, though that is lessening, and at each dose increase I experienced acid reflux, which gradually eased up. For me it's far from ideal, but better than the alternatives I've tried..
