"cymbalta has changed my life. i suffer from anxiety and trichotillomania which is an obsessive hair pulling disorder which stems from the anxiety. i&#039;ve tried many different medications such as prozac and zoloft etc. i had bad luck with those. the first two weeks on cymbalta was rough. i was very very dizzy, felt sick and did not want to eat. i was very tired and would sweat. i started to take the medication at night because the dizziness was too much. after a week they upped the dosage and it got a little better. three weeks i felt relieved and by week five, i felt amazing. i feel like a normal person, my mind is clear, i&#039;m not anxious and i stopped pulling my hair. the side effects went away except for being slightly tired."
