I have been on Cymbalta for over 10 years; I have recently increased my dose to 120 mg a day, but I still experience depression, anxiety, and a lack of interest in things that were of interest to me.

Just wanted to say I understand what yo’re talking about when saying you hit a wall trying to get off Cymbalta.

I am on Cymbalta (cannot seem to wean off...I hit a wall when I did that!), Risperdal, Klonopin, and Ambien and Trazodone for sleep!!! This is a good combination for the first time in 20 years. I have now had 3 days in a row of good days!!!
Best of luck to you! It certainly seems that my combination could really help you!!!
