Please dont beat youself up for taking this drug. We trusted our doctors and even when telling them it wasn't helping/side effects, in my case my dr told me to increase from 60 mg to 120 mg!!! Even Lilly states there is no evidence drug works more at levels over 60 mg!
I have gained a TON of weight in only 2 months and strange how it is all in the mid-section where I never usually gain. I think the drug slows some people' metabolism to a crawl. I have done cardio for 1 hour and pilates for 30 minutes all summer long. Now nothing fits!
Hang in there, take care of yourself and go easy.
We'll be out of Cymbalta hell soon.
