depression
"I started taking Cymbalta 6 months ago.  I know that they say this medicine can take about 3 weeks to kick in, however, I felt relief within hours of taking it.  Maybe it's some medical miracle or my body finally got what it needed.  I am a well educated woman who had a rough childhood.  I tried different anti-depressants over the years and never felt anything like this.  I stopped having suicidal thoughts.  The side effects were: loss of appetite and so tired that I had to lay down in the afternoon.  The only other medication I take is birth control.  I discovered the following:  If I take my birth control at night before bed and the 30mg Cymbalta in the morning then I'm not tired.  The side effects went away by the 12th week so hang in there!"
