My friend has depression and was prescribed 30mg Cymbalta. He asked his pdoc about side effects, and she gave him a vague answer. Nothing specific. He researched more about it online when he got home and it seems that many people have had awful experiences on it, and that the bad often outweighed the good. He's very worried about taking it and from what I read, I don't blame him, because the potential side effects (particularly if you start to come off of it) seem almost like a taste of bipolar disorder! What are your experiences with Cymbalta?
