"this drug is fantastic.  i had neuropathic pain and depression, due to the chronic pain, for over six months.  i tried nsaids and  other drugs which did little, if anything.  cymbalta really saved me.  i tolerated it  well and had few side effects, dry mouth and a little wired for the first week on it but that was it.  it did reduce sexual performance and cause difficulty with orgasm, but it was worth it.  after 10 months i got off of it and everything returned but the pain. fantastic."
