"my boyfriend of 6 years began taking cymbalta 2 years, ago to deal with a bout of depression. he has completely lost all libido and he went through a terrible period of sweating - he dripped like a faucet from his armpits at times.  he has lost his joy of eating, and has no appetite.  he has lost 40 lbs and really did not need to. his initial &quot;feel good&quot; period in this time has worn off and he is like a robot. his doctor gp, wants to up the dosage. i want him off and i want my boyfriend back. he is like a completely different person."
