Who else is on 40mg Cymbalta?

And how are you feeling? I switched from Effexor and so far I'm doing well. Had a couple of rough days in transistion, but suddenly I have lots of energy, like when I began Effexor.

This time though it's not such a "speedy" feeling. I didn't even feel the need take my Klonopin mid-day for the horrendous anxiety I get on and off.

Anyway, I'd like to know how others are doing at this dose and what you tried that didn't work before trying Cymbalta.

Thanks!

I have been on 40 mg of Cymbalta for a month, with no improvement. In fact, it seems my anxiety is worse. I thought maybe I need to go up higher, tried 60 mg for a few days and it seemed worse. I have decided to try a mood stabilizer--Lamictal. I will probably drop Cymbalta.
Previously I have been on Zoloft, Prozac, Remeron, Paxil, Buspirone, Lexapro, Geodon, and Anafranil.
I have depression and GAD
Paxil and Anafranil were the best, as they also seemed to help anxiety as well. BUT both caused weight gain, especially Paxil. If I get into trouble I know Anafranil is there. It felt like a more balanced med than the SSRIs.
