Hey, no, it's not as simple as that! If Cymbalta works for you, that's a great thing, and it does work for many people. In fact, I've never heard that 30% number before, and have done a lot of research on this drug since starting it over a year ago for treatment resistant depression. And everyone I've been in touch with who has tried it has said that they've had some improvement on it, even if it's not bringing about total remission for them.

Give it a good, honest try, and see what it does for you. Personally, although I suspect it of weight gain, I've found it to be one of the most tolerable drugs I've tried -- and that's out of many, many different drugs of different classes.

Good luck.
