"i have been depressed most of my life and especially during my menstrual cycle.  i have taken zoloft to start with, effexor, paxil, prozac and finally cymbalta.  when i started taking cymbalta i had such heart palpatations and other bad side effects, but i thought i&#039;m going to take this even if it kills me, better it, than me killing myself!  so i stayed with cymbalta and i don&#039;t think i could live without it now.  it has taken care of my severe depression and anxiety problems.  you have to give it a chance.
