I'm the same age as you, and have been living with depression since my early twenties. I'm married with two kids and finally got to the point where I realized that my mood disorder was seriously effecting their lives. I've been on Cymbalta for just over a month now and it has made a huge difference. First two weeks were an adjustment but now I feel quite level. Do I still get moody, yes of course I do, but I no longer let it have a negative effect for weeks on end like I did in the past.

Hang in there, be patient, we have lot's of life ahead of us!
