has or does anyone take cymbalta and what do you think of it? I have only been on it for 1 week but I notice that after 4 hours I can hardly keep my eyes open. I was wondering if that wears off after a while. I am on 30mg.
It made me sick to my stomach the first 2 days but that is gone.
What are your opinions?

I take Cymbalta - 90mg. I have been as high as 120mg. I am a lucky person in that I rarely suffer from side effects. I don't know about Cymbalta but most side effects resolve in the first month or so (from what other people has said). I really like Cymbalta as it has definitely helped reduce my depressive episodes. And, the last time I got depressed I didn't even get suicidal, what a change!

I unfortunately can NOT take it or I really will go completely out of my mind. I was on it for 30 days and I lost 20 pounds, told my husband I hated and that was the mild end.

It didn't work well for me, but that's how the SNRI's and SSRI's are for me. Very foggy all the time, even more depressed, and extremely constipated. But, some people have said it works really well for them, minus the constipation, that seems to be across the board.

It did help with my pain though.
