"i had such a mixed experience on cymbalta. i took it for 1 month. it made half my day awful, and the other half great. i would take it in the morning (30mg) and for the first half of the day i would feel this dark undercurrent, but kind of speedy at the same time. it made me have terrible anxiety and paranoia and i fought with my husband in the mornings, accusing him of petty things. then around 1pm this darkness would lift and i would feel happy; it was really bizarre. but the damage done to my marriage from my behavior in the mornings was terrible. i hope my husband can forgive me for the drama. my last dose was 2 days ago and i feel much more stable and sane. i did not like how this drug altered my personality so much in the mornings."
