"i started taking cymbalta about one month ago. initially the dose was 30mg for 2 weeks and 60mg following. i cannot believe how well this has helped me. i suffered with depression and severe anxiety. i will continue this medication as i understand full benefit may not be reached for several months. overall i am extremely satisfied with cymbalta. my only side effects are constipation and decreased appetite which i have resolved with miralax and eating small meals more often. i also realized the increased taste of salt during my meals which has seemed to decrease more each day."
