Cymbalta

My Dr. wanted me to try low dose Cymbalta for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and did not have the 30 mg samples so i was given the 60 mg with instructions to empty the capsules into food, as this would reduce the dose by approximately half.  I became very ill with vomiting and severe diarreah.  I was up all night running to the bathroom and was concerned when i looked up information on cymbalta that said not to open capsules.  Did opening the capsules cause me to become ill or does this medication just not agree with me.  I also felt unwell for a few days with stomach upset and sleeping too much with intense dreams and a foggy feeling in my head.

Thank you.
