Can Cymbalta start working on depression after only 3 days?

I just started on it again at the start of the week, and I realized yesterday not one time did I have that deep overwhelming desire to be dead. That feeling had been with me multiple times every day for I don't know how long. To not have it for one day feels like a miracle. And I woke up this morning and haven't felt that desire yet today (when just last week I would have already felt it so deeply pretty much constantly upon waking).

I really, really hope it's working. I wouldn't describe my mood now as up or even happy, more like level. And I have had moments of feeling content/peaceful. I even went for a short walk this morning. Only 0.5 mile, but that is more than I have walked for months. OMG, this feels wonderful. I pray that it lasts.
