The thing with meds. are you have to find the right one that works for you, then the right dose and then it takes time to build up in your system.  So you just have to hang in there.  I started feeling a little better after a couple weeks and then slowly thereafter.  I had to increase my dose 3x.  My psychiatrist wants me to be on the lowest dose possible so we increased it slowly.  With each increase I would feel a little better.  I am now at 40mg and he wants thats to be in system for a little bit longer to see if I get more benefit from it.  I'm ok with that because right now my days are mainly manageable but not where I want to be.  It can take anywhere from 4-6 wks to notice a difference.  I started noticing a slight difference at 2-3 wks.  How long have you been on the cymbalta? Just hang in there the best you can.  You will find the right med. it just takes time and that is the hardest part.  I know because I have been there and thought there is no way I can wait.  But you do and it does get better.  If you need someone to talk to feel free to send me a message.
