I was on 30 of Cymbalta for about a year and that was a therapeutic dose for me. When I went off of it (cold turkey - not recommended) it was miserable. I stopped because I was doing better. Best wishes to you with your struggles. BTW, after Cymbalta and being off all meds for a year, I was hospitalized, then went through mirtazapine, lexapro, and now I'm on effexor. Not sure if it's working, but others tell me "you look better"...I hope that you're feeling better today.
