I take Cymbalta and I feel it is a God send. Yes, there are times I have insomnia, but the Cymbala keeps me from wanting to go to sleep forever. I found that after I got used to the medicine (within 1 mo) In was able to sleep again. On the nights that I can’t, I take Excedrin PM and a cup of tea and it helps. Herbal I think is not recommended for use with depression medicine. Try a cup of" sleepy time" tea after the Excedrin. It might help you.

I currently take 30mg a day because I suffer from insomnia I also take 125mg of Seoquel at bed time but this is just what works for me. You will need to speak toy your doctor about what might help you sleep since lack of sleep adds to depression
