"i was off of the medication for exactly 2 1/2 days. i was a basket-case! everything made me feel sad and overwhelmed. the withdrawal was bad! i was very dizzy, had fragmented thoughts, forgetfulness, etc. 

the biggest drawback of cymbalta that i have experienced is the extreme difficulty reaching orgasm! my libido is just fine, as is everything else during sex....until the point when i should (and used to be able to) have orgasm. very frustrating. needless to say, if there was a drug that could help the depression as well as cymbalta does, without the sexual side effects, i would take it!"
