"i have just started taking it, and i wanted to give a viewpoint from the beginning.  i have been on this for 4 days now.  the first day was really bad, but it is getting better.  my appetite is coming back now, and i am not snapping at my family like i was before i started cymbalta.  i am still quite tired and nauseated during the day, and am still having some trouble sleeping.  before this i used to drink a lot, and this has helped me lose the desire to drink, which in my case is a good thing.  i am going to stick with it and hopefully the rest of the side effects will go away slowly.  i already feel more positive and my family has even noticed a difference already."
