I am crying every day and even feel I don't want to live anymore.  I have a lot of situational upheaval.  I am on 60mg of cymbalta which I have been on for about 10 years.  I've tried a higher dose but it doesn't agree with me.  I hurt emotionally and physically. I'm 75 years old.  I also take alprazalam.  Please help me stop the pain in my mind and body.  I'm at the end of my rope.  I see a nurse practitioner regularly.  I've been hospitalized for depression at least a dozen times.  That doesn't help.  Please answer as soon as you can.  I am desperate.

Hello,If a patient is taking an antidepressant medication in adequate dosage for sufficient amount of time without significant improvement , a  switch to another antidepressant medicine is recommended.Since you are on 60 mg cymbalta for the last 10 years with minimal improvement and you have severe depressive symptoms at present, i would advise you to consult a psychiatrist and consider shifting on some other antidepressant drug. All the best . Take care
