"been taking generic cymbalta for about 2 months for depression, anxiety, and ocd. when i first started i fluctuated between super tired and super hyper, that lasted for a few weeks. i also got dizzy a lot. after about 4 weeks all the side effects went away and now it&#039;s helping a lot with depression and helps a bit with anxiety and ocd. your mileage may vary but for me this medication has been a godsend."
