Cymbalta seems tho exacerbate my depression

I have been on Cymbalta for about 9 months (90 milg's). At first it worked very well. My chronic pain was gone, I had some energy and just a general feeling of being somewhat normal again. FF to now. I'm tired all the time, have no motivation to do anything including work or cook. I'm under a lot of stress due to a teenage son and that has put me on the edge of insanity in combination with my meds not working.
Do I request new meds? Should I take them at a different time of day? Should I just go hide in my closet until life stops being so hard?

Sometimes it works short-term,sometimes it stops working. Talk to your doctor. I couldn't manage Cymbalta--it did nothing for my pain,and made me super-angry as well as more depressed. I tried for 6 months, and even a dose increase did not help. If you are still at the loading dosage--an increase might be more effective.
