Hi everyone, this is my first post on this site/forum.
Some background-- I have been on Cymbalta 60mg for 8 months. After the first month or so I felt like myself again. I haven't been sad or depressed since then it was absolutely amazing-until now. It's like the meds just stopped working. I don't know what to do. To get on these meds I basically went to a walk in clinic and told the doc I wanted Cymbalta because I read great reviews about them. He started me off on 60mg for some reason and I don't know what to do right now. I have to be on some type of antidepressant otherwise I am constantly thinking of suicide. It got to the point that I was seriously considering killing myself, that is why I went the clinic and got the Cymbalta. But now that it has stopped working I don't know what to do. Should I double the dosage? I should probably see a psychiatrist so this can all be figured out. I am just so frustrated because there was light at the end of the tunnel and now it's gone. When I'm not on any meds I feel like I am literally insane, or the opposite. Sometimes both. Either I feel absolutely nothing or my mind is telling me I am crazy.
Any responses or advice would be helpful.
