"i was prescribed cymbalta 60mg a day i take it in the evening to help with stress &amp; depression.  the side effects of dry mouth &amp; loss of appetite only lasted about a week and a half then subsided away.  my depression has been improving but i must say a big benefit for me also has been my back pain, that has had me almost crippling at times, is about non existent, which i realized must be from the cymbalta.  anyway so far so good."
