What are your experiences with Cymbalta?

hi kitten ,
im currently on Cymbalta 60 mgs . I like it cuz its smoother and it keeps my depression under control . I had problems with the Cymbalta when it up to 90 mgs it slowed me down physically and mentally it made me gain weight like crazy. it kept me up when I was on the 30 mgs minus my Vistrail . I like Cymbalta . my therapist is happy with the results of the Cymbalta .
Diagnosis: Anxiety and depression
meds: Cymbalta 60 mgs at night
Vistrail 2 25 mgs daily for anxiety prn
50 mgs at night for insomnia with an additional 25 mgs=75 mgs when up past 1:00 in the morning
