Answers:
Anti-depressants tend to do two things in your brain, and one take a great deal longer than the other.
Cymbalta is an SNRI which means that it affects the hormones Seritonin and Norepinephrine (I'm sure I murdered the spelling). As soon as you start taking the Cymbalta, it tells your nerve cells to release more hormones. This happens very quickly, within a few days of starting the drug.
Cymbalta's second job takes longer. When you have depression, it's not just that your brain isn't getting enough hormone, it's that your brain doesn't know what to DO with the hormone. Cymbalta makes your nerve cells more receptive to those hormones. It does that by actually changing the way the hormones get to the nerves. It can take weeks or even months to feel the full effects of the drug.
If it's not helping after a month or so, talk to your doctor. Some drugs work for some people, some don't. I tried Cymbalta and it didn't work for me. But then I got on Effexor, another SNRI, which has been really effective.
Give it time, seek talk-therapy for your symptoms. Get plenty of rest, avoid alcohol and caffiene, and take care of yourself.
There's hope! I've finally got my meds under control and I've never felt so healthy in my life!
