"hi everyone-i just started cymbalta about 2 weeks ago and so far it has been great-my anxiety was really bad for months, leading to severe depression, and i finally had to talk to my doctor about taking something-i was reluctant about taking anything and hadn&#039;t before now-i am so glad i did! i take 30 mg now 1x day and like the lower dose-initially had a couple a bad reactions-after 12 hrs of my first pill, i got severely hyper but it settled about 6 hrs later then i took a day off and restarted-it&#039;s been fine ever since-i can&#039;t explain how great it feels to not have those negative thoughts constantly harass you and the renewed sense of self and confidence is over-whelming. i only noticed dry mouth and i&#039;m more forgetful it seems."
