Cymbalta, that is. How is it going for you?

> Cymbalta, that is. How is it going for you?
Hey...thanks for asking! It's going...so-so, I guess. The verdict is not quite "in" yet. For some reason I was expecting it to be more like Effexor, but even at 60mg's, it doesn't feel like too much of anything. I don't know if it is me or not, though, but for some weird reason, it feels like I should be taking this twice a day!?!?! Well, we will see within a few more weeks.Take care...

Jay let it build up in your system and then maybe you say you're a big guy you may need a higher dose. We're all different and good luck to you Love Phillipa

>Yeah, this drug has been different for me too. I am used to AD's having a quicker start-up and this is taking longer. I go back and forth between thinking nothing's gonna happen and thinking something is happening. It's subtle. Meantime I keeping checking here to see if something is happening with ya'll. I know what you mean about taking it twice a day -- me too! I was just thinking that in the middle of the night when I woke up feeling happy -- like maybe I'm missing some window?
I wanted to share this though -- I started taking it at night 2 days ago and I like it much much better. When I took it in the morning I felt really sleep/almost hungover all day. Now I feel like I get past while I'm sleeping. I'm at 60 mg now and my pdoc just told me to go up to 90 mg next week (after 2 weeks at 60) if I don't feel better and then 120 mg 2 weeks after that.
It is SO HARD to wait SO LONG to see if this is going to work. I have almost given up in the time it takes to wait to see if it will work. And there are no freakin' guarantees.
