"i&#039;ve been on cymbalta for severe depression for about six months now. i tried other depression medications that either made the depression worse or made me way too complacent and had a lot of side effects. with cymbalta, my depression has gone away with almost no side effects and i&#039;m back to feeling like an actual human being instead of being consumed by the depression. the only problem i had was it interfered with my sleep. i would half wake up multiple times a night, and would be running my fingers through my hair. basically i was moving about in a half awake state and not getting a proper deep rest. this was able to be resolved by combining this medication with another one i take before bed. very positive experience and i&#039;m very grateful"
