Hello Sally.I too have gone through the same thing with 60mg of Cymbalta and not being able to sleep. I went two weeks with no sleep which in return made me not be able to eat or drink and barely navigate. My Dr wanted to put me in the hospital when i begged her to try something else. She then put me on Trazedone 300mg which still didnt make me sleep. Went back to see her and once again she wanted me in the hospital, i didnt want to be in the hospital so i begged her again to try once more. She is now weaning me off the Cynbalta because she said thats a serious side effect of the drug and left me on the Trazedone for depression which works very well and then added Klonipin60mg. Well good news im sleeping like a baby now. Once im weaned off of the Cymbalta she is going to try and wean me off the Klonipin and see what happens. She says that drug is for short time use and is very addictive. I hope maybe this has helped you somehow. Please follow up with me if you can. God Bless you and hang in there, they will have to add something in order to get you some sleep. Ambien didnt work for sleep for me either. Just dont let yourself get as sick as i did. Insist your Dr keep trying even if you have to go to the Dr several times a week like i finally did. Hang in there. You may just need to be weaned off the Cymbalta. If you can keep me posted on what they try for you. God Bless you! KCD
