Hey -- relax. That 30% is pretty much true for ALL anti-depressants. Yep, that's the statistic that gets thrown around all the time -- all ADs work for about 30% of the people who try them. Some other drug usually works for the rest of the people out there.

So, Cymbalta has as much chance of working for you as any AD.

Hope that helps.
