text: I have been taking it for 3 weeks and the only side effect i've had from it is being tired.  It has just kicked my butt, but other than that i have had no troubles with it.  For me, it took about 3 weeks to kick in and it's a slow kick to boot, but it is great.  It wasn't this big flashy thing where "hey i feel better like right now" it was more gradual and i never even noticed it other than i just feel good - no big moment.  No more panic attacks and anxities.  I was taking effexor and it KILLED my drive - i have had no problems with the cymbalta doing that - the drive is where it was 4 weeks ago.\n\nGood luck! :)
