How did you guys feel on Cymbalta? How long did it take for it to start working and what side effects, if any did you have? Do any of you use it for depression and anxiety disorder??? Needing helpful answers. Thank you...

I have been taking it for almost a year. It started helping me a little almost right away. The literature said that it could take a few weeks, but I noticed an improvement sooner than that.
One side effect I had was daytime sleepiness. I got over this in about a month. I am not sure if this was a side effect or lingering effects of my depression. I know it can be a side effect of Cymbalta.
I gained some weight on Cymbalta, but again I am not sure if that was all the medication's fault. I had not been eating at all. I know when you starve yourself, once you start eating again your body starts storing fat.
I hope this helped you somewhat. Good luck on the medication.

I am on it for depression and anxiety, and have been for several months. Had no problem with side effects, but it took a long time and a couple dosage adjustments til I started to feel better. I don't even know for sure that it's Cymbalta that is helping me because I've also been prescribed some new meds - they could be the ones that are helping me. To sum it up, I don't care much for Cymbalta.

I love it. I use it for a variety of things: depression, anxiety and pain of fibromyalgia. It took about a month to start working. I wasalmost thinking it wouldn't. At first, I had dizziness, nausea, lack of appetite, couldn't sleep. I believe I had more side effects from Cymbalta than any antidepressant. But, once it started working, it works very good.

I really liked this med. I was on it pain, depression, anxiety and other stuff. The only problem was I gained 15 pounds and having an eating disorder...that didn't go over too well...otherwise I would still be on it
