"three months on cymbalta now and doing ok. i posted before that i started out on a very small dose and over 6 weeks got it up to 30 mg. i felt better than i ever had in my life! then i tried to get it up further but suffered from horrible constipation and gas. took me a while to know why, but now i am going back to 30 because i think that might be the right dose for me. it&#039;s all a bit experimental, but i do know that i couldn&#039;t bear to feel like i did before with no medicines. just so anxious all the time for no reason, had to stop doing a lot of things in life, altogether so much less than i could be. still grateful for this medicine."
