"went on 60mg cymbalta. was amazingly good for about a year. minimal side effects except for some reduction in appetite which was a bit of a problem and causing tiredness at work. it got my life back for me for a while at a time when i thought only of death. i began socializing and getting into hobbies, etc. i then had to work on issues i had created while in depression such as drinking. at about 1 year however some strange effects started occurring. i would for about a week per month become fearful and could not leave the house. eventually went to a psychiatrist who suggested stopping cold turkey. that was okay, no problems."
