Anybody here take Cymbalta for depression? [View all]

I was taking Lexapro and Wellbutrin for depression with good results. As a result of chronic back pain, I am starting the generic version of Cymbalta in the hope that it will help with the pain as well as the depression. I had to go off of the Lexapro and am going off the Wellbutrin tomorrow. In both cases I have gradually reduced the dosage before stopping.

I am not yet up to a therapeutic dosage of Cymbalta, but I will increase the dosage to 60 mg.s tomorrow. For the last few days of taking it, I feel shaky emotionally. That is probably just my reaction to withdrawing from my previous medications, but I would like to hear from those with experience of Cymbalta how it has affected you.

I thank you in advance for your replies.
