Default diagnosis "depression"

Hello everyone, I stumbled her by chance and wanted to get you opinion?

I (female) have been feeling like crap for a few months now. Cold chills, shaking, mental exaustion, "feel as if I could pass out at times", trouble sleeping, weight gain (20+lbs), Horseness, chocking feeling, headaches, numbness in hands and feet at times, and just plain run down. Went to the doc. they took some blood. Results are back and they are now treating me for "severe depression with anxiety".

My labs came back as follows
calcium serum 10.5 H
T3 Uptake 31
T4 (thyroxine) 7.0
Free Thyroxine Index 2.2
TSH (high sensitivity) 1.82

Dr says these are all normal and he feels i got a "really good work-up" and sent me home "depressed" on 30 mg cymbalta. It's been almost 2 weeks of giving this a shot thinking ok maybe I am and just don't realize it. I still do not "feel" better, other than the fact I am a little more tolerable of feeling sick. Do you think it's time to flush the doc and find one who will give me a better second look or should I ride it out and hope the "depression" goes away?

Thanks
