Cymbalta and fatigue?

[hopefully optimistic]

I started cymbalta a month ago, and have noticed I have been extremely tired. Of course it’s listed under symptoms but my therapist said it’s not likely caused by the cymbalta...it’s bad enough that I’m considering stopping medication altogether....this is the fourth med that I have tried and nothing seems to be helping much.

Is there anything else that could be causing the fatigue?

I really do hate it when professionals say a side effect isn’t likely, when it’s entirely possible. I have had this happen so many times, as someone who always gets the rare side effects!

@EveHarrington absolutely-but my sleep has been better at night than it was before. I’ve just never been THIS tired all day long. I’ve taken Valium a couple of times a week at night but nothing routine with that; that’s the only other new medication.
