Hi Cymbalta, how are you?

I'd like to thank you for solving my problem with hypochondriasis. Your intervention and swift re-uptaking of my serotonin and noradrenaline will not be forgotten, as it has allowed me to get on with my life and stop worrying about dying all the time.

You also come in a seductive package. Green pills, how cool is that?

Having said all this, you suck and I hate you with every fibre of my being.

You have taken away my ability to feel emotions and i think you have affected my prostate somehow as my ability to ejaculate is non-existent and also my urine stream is very weak.

If I ever see you on the street i will kick you in the capsule and leave you spilling your medicine in the gutter.

Yours truly,

Toilet.

I can certainly relate. However, I've decided to just put up with the side effects of Cymbalta, because it is the only AD I have found that really works for my depression. I still feel the emotions mostly, so I don't have that to contend with, but the orgasm and urination issues are all too familiar. I've tried so many different AD's, and pretty much all of them have given me ejaculation problems, so I decided that, since Cymbalta works for my moods, I'm just going to live with it for now. For me, the benefit outweighs the pain in the *** side effects.

Have you tried other AD's?

Stuck in Cymbalta world here too!

Good news my depression really is better!

However I am up 10lbs, I jerk just before I fall asleep, deal with extreme constipation, weak urine stream and the worst No ORGASIMS at all!!!!

I hate cymbalta but will continue to take it.

I would however give anything for an orgasim once on a while.

I had the same love/hate relationship with cymbalta. While I worked, the depression was gone, but so was my passion, both physical and mental, for anything else. Also, I had occasional tics and brain zaps while on it.
The worst part, though, was getting off of cymbalta. Even with stepping down the dosage over weeks, the withdrawal was awful! I had intense brain zaps, kept a constant headache, and had involuntary jerks and tics when sitting still. I also had flu-like symptoms at first.
No more cymbalta for me, ever!

It's AWESOME if you want to sit and sweat uncontrollably and then have a horrible withdrawal.

(I don't mean my biases on some meds to be so obvious ).. sorry
