I have been on it since Jan '05 very slowly going from 20mg to 30 and up to 60 for a short while.
Above the 40 to 50mg mark it was iffey-I think causing some lethergy and negative ruminating thoughts. I dropped down to 20mg for a short time and am now trying 20mg twice a day.
My mood is level on cymbalta and I am generally happier, smile more and am patient and calm.
For a time I was more energetic but now I feel terribly lazy. I guess I will have to choose between the better mood Cymbalta provides and the motivation that my anxiety (sometimes)provides.
I am quitting my job. I have tried everything I know and it seems that I am unable to maintain a reasonable energy level which causes anxiety when I work. So screw it, I suppose. I'm tired of feeling like I suck all the time. I own my own salon and have done hair for 18 years.
I give up fighting. If I feel tired I'll rest and if I feel energetic I will move. At least I don't have to feel guilty all the time.
I don't want to do anything.
