Advice & Tips
The startup was a little rough but it has helped the mental side of it all for me. I only cried for 20 minutes after my first attack then got right back to work. Over time I'm thinking it might not always be this way but it was nice when it worked.

Not really sure if it really helped but I did notice an increase in migraines, lower sex drive and, since stopping, drive is back after a week! Not noticing depression or pain level getting worse. will know better later I think.

Advice & Tips
I am currently waning off of it and have started experiencing the physical symptoms of burry vision in the morning, dizziness, nausea, and headaches throughout the day. It has been easier to wane off of than Pristiq, but I hope these symptoms pass soon.

Advice & Tips
I stopped taking it w/out Dr.'s input to see if it was the cause of my excessive daytime sleepiness. I can now last about 3 hours awake before I start getting tired; I don't think it was the Cymbalta. Other med changes might have helped give me the extra 3 hours; too little, too late.

Advice & Tips
If I miss the dose in the a.m., I can't take it later, or it will keep me up all night, which I certainly don't want or need. I guess it's worth all the worry of side effect, per doctor recommendation.
