"The most common side effects noted with duloxetine are nausea (experienced by about 1 to 2 of every 5 patients), dry mouth (1 of 6), constipation (1 of 9), diarrhea (1 of 10), fatigue (1 of 10), difficulty sleeping (1 of 9), dizziness (1 of 10). Between two and four times as many people who received duloxetine during clinical studies had to stop treatment and drop out of the study due to side effects than those receiving placebo.
Antidepressants may increase the risk of suicidal thinking and behavior in children and adolescents with depression. Patients who are started on duloxetine or another antidepressant should be observed closely for clinical worsening, suicidal thinking and behavior, or unusual behavior. The average risk of suicidal thinking and behavior in patients receiving antidepressants is about 4% (or 1 per 25), twice the placebo risk of 2%."
***personally, you know my views on drugs. especially anti-depression drugs. prolly about 80% of the time, depression is caused by factors in your life that, by using a good therapist, you can overcome perfectly fine. If you ARE one of the 20% or so who has depression caused by a chemical imbalance, there are alternative methods to treating this besides drugs, including exercise, a change in diet, massage (!! it's true !! I studied it in school), etc.

In clinical studies for Cymbalta the most common side effect when taking Cymbalta was nausea. For most people, the nausea was mild to moderate, and usually subsided within 1 to 2 weeks.
Other common side effects in diabetic nerve pain studies included (listed in order of frequency):
* Sleepiness
* Dizziness
* Constipation
* Increased sweating
* Dry mouth
* Decreased appetite
The side effects in most Cymbalta users were not significant enough to stop taking Cymbalta.

Hi.. I have so experience with this evil Drug.. my dr prescribed Cymbalta (30mg) and i was just out of myself.. It was awful.. i started to feel very dizzy and sick.. i got to the point where i was seeing things.. everything looked like if it had water infront of it.. Then he wanted to give me a 60mg, but i just told him that my life was so miserable.. so i stopped! Also i started to have a lot of suicidal thoughts, my depression got worse..

I've no idea but I really like the song they play on the Cymbalta TV commercials. Supposedly you shouldn't fool with dosage without clearance from your doctor but he/she is just guessing too so who knows?
