Caused me to be disoriented,and severe sleeping disorders-sleeping all the time. Mood swings and very irritable.

have had almost all side effects. dry mouth, constipation, nightmares, yawning all the time but has helped with depression, anxiety, and shooting nerve pains in my foot

My friends and family can tell is I haven’t been taking my medication. They say my personality and attitude changes. I also use it for neuropathic pain. If I don’t take it I can tell very quickly that I need it because of the increase in pain. I wouldn’t want to be without it.

Psychological benefits were good but experienced neuropathic pain in hands which resolved as she was weaned off of the medication.

20 mg of Cymbalta gave me severe tension headaches, muscle pain and constipation but helped with depression. Weaned myself off it and all side effects went away.

my husband has been depressed for over five years but refused to get help, finally got him to get to go to an endrocologist for his diabetes i was telling her about his mood swings she gave him cymbalta for his nuropathy and his mood swings he is a totally different person now, he is like he use to be when we were dating a mellow person who is nice to be around

This medicine saved my life. I was diagnosed with major depressive disorder and panic attacks. I have taken this medicine since May of this year. It has made me lose 13 pounds already. So I have no complaints. It rocks !!!!

In my experience this is the worse medication I have ever used and I have no idea why my psychiatrist prescribed it. In the beginning I was taking Prozac and Welbutrine and doing pretty well feeling ok. I told him I wanted to quit all mental type medications and then eventually get off all medications he agreed and suggest I start with weaning off prozac and welbutrine so I did. I felt some depression return so he prescribed Cymbalta. My 2 mistakes; First not researching the drug before starting it and trusting a doctor I did not know very well. Now since I am weaning off Cymbalta I am cursed to suffer 90% of all the bad side effects and there was never any benefit for me to take this drug and when I complained to my psychiatrist about it he just doubled the doseage. When my primary care Doctor found out he said that it was a very bad idea to take more then 60mgs. a day I was doing 120 by doctors orders, never again!
