i was getting more severely depressed but with increased dosages of Cymbalta i develop tremors in my hands that make it difficult to function. So we tried other anti-depressants that worked well (trintellix in particular) but I felt i was gaining weight while on it, whether it was true or not as my case is also complicated with an eating disorder. Trintellix worked really well for me; i felt more energetic and lesss depressed. However, eventually, I went back to cymbalta, which is better overall for all my other ailments anyway, at a higher dose until i was stable and slowly lowered back down to a tolerable maintenance dose. What i've learned is you must give anti-depressants time to work and time for your body to get used to the side effects (they usually go away or get less annoying) but that takes weeks to a couple of months. It's definitely not instant gratification. It's been almost 7 years for me to go from deep dark depression of not wanting to live to a living a life that is hard but not always hopeless and less dark days.
