I started taking 30 mg about 6 weeks ago. I suffered through the side effects for the first 3 and once those leveled out I thought I would give this a little more time to see if it helped my depression, which I think is highly situational - mom died recently and have terrible marriage currently. I lost some weight with Cymbalta due to feeling sick at even the thought of food but that seems to have leveled out as well. But I don't feel any better overall - in fact I find myself feeling despondent like "what's the point of life?" and I've never been like that before. Then to top that off, I now have ACNE which I have never suffered a day from. My face is erupting all over and my whole life I've received compliments on my pretty skin. So that's the deal breaker for me.

I want to quit taking it. Since I haven't been on it very long do you think I should wean or just quit? My nature is to just quit but I don't want to be a basket case for the rest of the summer. And if I have to wean, how much for how long?
