"i took cymbalta (20mg twice per day) for about a year. the drug worked better than any other ad i tried. around 10 months ago, i wanted to see if i could come off the drug to see how i would do. i suffered from anxiety and mild depression. once the drug was weaned out of my system, i haven&#039;t felt quite right. my doctor agreed for me to start taking it again. after three weeks, i have a much better state of mind with decreased anxiety. i really like this medication and have no side effects!"
