"i have been on cymbalta for 6 years. i am 51 and have a family history of depression and only recently have i accepted that i may have it very long term. for those in australia i recommend the generic version called coperin (i get it from priceline) which reduces the &#039;brain fog&#039; of cymbalta. i have been very happy on cymbalta (coperin), it changed my life. i hate that i rely on a tablet to enjoy life, but it is a small price to pay. my gp occasionally suggests i try a new drug but i always refuse. i have much improved relationships with people and it is great to have lost the anxiety which has completely disappeared. i have been on 30mg for 4 years, but am increasing to 60mg for a few weeks as i seem to be going through a bout of anxiety."
