Good Experience

I think this is a good medicine. I haven't always felt great on it but it got me out of bed and able to make my life better! I felt AWFUL for the first 3 weeks; dry mouth, exhausted, depressed; but after that I could get out of bed without being afraid and put my life together. Dry mouth was a big thing for me but chewing gum was the best way to deal with that.

I would recommend persevering for 6 weeks and if you're still not satisfied move on to the next one.

    Was interested in your recommendation to persist for 6 weeks. I have been taking cymbalta for about 2 weeks. First week 30mgs and this week 60mgs. I have the dry mouth and feel exhausted. Wish this would go away. Do you really think it is worthwhile persevering?

    I have been on duloxetine 30mg for 2 weeks now and feel more depressed than before. So it can take up to 3 to 4 weeks to see some benefit from the drug ?
