"i had mild anxiety and intermittent depression. i always pushed through and never thought of medicines. my girlfriend suggested i speak to a psych and i started cymbalta. in 10 days i had no more intrusive thoughts talking me down, making me stressed, guilty. after 9 weeks, i&#039;m a new man. small things don&#039;t worry me, i am patient and calm driving, i don&#039;t wake up for toilet then stay awake worrying, my relationship is closer, i&#039;m nicer to be with. cons? my libido decreased and climax is harder to achieve (but more intense). the medicine felt strange (out-of-body) at first but i got used to that. i drink more water, i yawn in the afternoons, i grind my jaw a bit, get breathless, mild headaches some days. but my life is much better with this medicine."
