Cymbalta...is anyone else experiencing problems with it?

I take 120mgs. of Cymbalta every night. I've tried just about every antidepressant on the market, ever since Prozac was created, and they work for a short time and then you have to up the dosage and well, you know. :o( Anyway, I've been having some very strange feelings (thoughts of suicide, crying, horrible headaches) and I wondered if anyone was taking Cymbalta, and what their experiences have been with it. Thanks.

I know what you mean about constantly having to switchup meds. I think Cymbalta may be the ONLY one I haven't had the pleasure of being on yet. ;)

I'm sorry you're experiencing negative side effects. Make sure your doc knows you're having issues with it and maybe they'll step down your dosage before switching you to the next 'flavor of the month.'

Here's a site that has great patient-generated feedback about Cymbalta:

Unfortunately, only 72% of over 1,000 people have found it to be effective. Maybe take a look around to see what other comparable drugs are out there? :/ Best of luck with everything... :)
