So far no problems. It really works and it DOES help with pain! ☺

Cymbalta has worked great for me.
The only negative I've found about the drug-- which has been very helpful to me not only for my mood but also for my migraines-- is that awful COMMERCIAL. I HATE it!
It makes it seem like everyone *before* cymbalta is a walking zombie who ruins everyone elses life (even the dog is sad) and after cymbalta, everything is wonderful again!
When my mom found out this is the drug I was taking, she said, "oooh, I didn't realize you were in *that* much pain..." because she was thinking of the people in the commercial.
So be careful who you mention your meds to, because apparently that commercial has had a very powerful effect on people ;-)

I was put on it as an addition to my meds for anxiety, and i didn't know how zoned i was until i quit. I was crying at the end of this sad movie, and i was suddenly realized i don't think i really laughed hard or cried at anything for so long! it was weird.
The bad part was withdrawl from cymbalta, it seems to have a fast run through your body, and they were severe for me when i weaned off. it was a horrible electric feeling that made me sure i was experiencing permanent nerve damage. I'm sure everyone is different and if they help you, go for it, but i'm so leary of psych medications now!

Cymbalta is a very helpful medication. It has some sexual side effects in slightly lowered libido and problems with achieving orgasm. Other than that, the upside is that it work great. Kind of evens you out emotionally and relieves pain. Hope it works for you.
