"i am going back on these! i have an appointment and it can not come soon enough. i slipped back into depression gradually and feel numb and do not have interest in anything. it scares me to be like this!  when i was on cymbalta before the side effects did fade, mostly dry mouth and tiredness. i took them at night and it helped. i felt i wanted to try medicine free because after 2 years felt better. well one year later and i am depressed again! going back on them! the withdrawal symptoms did not bother me, i weaned gradually.  wellburtin xl worked for me too, i lost a lot of weight on that one! good side effect."
