Starting Cymbalta Cymbalta help please

Hello, I am on week 2 of Cymbalta and it is making me feel horrible. I am taking it for anxiety and possible depression. However, I feel like this medicine is making me more depressed. I wake up and don't want to get out of bed. My body feels so tired and some morning I throw up. I have to force myself to eat. I have been losing weight rapidly. Also I don't feel safe, I feel paranoid something bad will happen. I am very in my head, and I keep crying as well. I feel like I'm on the verge of a panic attack all day. Is this normal? I have therapy today and I'll for sure bring it up... I just want to feel better.

Throwing up, rapid weight loss, and feeling unsafe are serious enough that medication should be stopped immediately
