Don't write off the Cymbalta yet. They started me on 60mg and I was climbing the walls and had full blown panic attacks and akathisia. I titrated myself down SLOWLY. I open the capsules and count out granules and am comfortable at 3mg.
Don't do that unless you talk to your pdoc. But it was my former pdoc that insisted that Cymbalta can be started at higher doses even though I get horrible side effects from SSRIs, so....
It may be that Cymbalta is not for you, but the dose may be way to high for you. There are others on this board on small doses of Cymbalta.
Good luck.
