      What is your dosage? I have taken 60 mg in morning and 30 mg at night for 2 weeks. I have not felt better than 60 mg / day.

    those are all start up symptoms of taking anti depressants, it most likely will subside I'll bet that most of us here have had one or the other or all of those side effects during the start up. Don't worry, unless it feels that its too much for you to handle, we all go through it. Hang in there! 😃

      i havent read anywhere that thats a side effect . my doctor said to try taking one every other day then .

    It takes about 2 weeks for side effects. I started with 20 mg, I was very tired, dry eyes, loss appetite for 2 weeks. I have just increased my dose to 90 mg/day in 2 weeks. You will have side effects when increase dose.

    I have taken Cymbalta for 4 months. I still have dry mouth. This side effect takes long time.
