"have suffered depression most of my life. am now 50  and was prescribed cymbalta after experiencing a debilitating bout of severe depression about 15 months ago. i was unable to function. i had been taking it for about two and a half years previously and decided to ween off it but after 3 months fell into the deep hole mentioned above. i take 60mg at night and sleep well, i have to watch my weight and i experience constipation. i find it hard to cry (better than the alternative right?) and also feel somewhat lethargic but overall it keeps me feeling &#039;normal&#039;."
