Day 16 (6 days at 30mg; 10 days at 60mg)
60mg (30mg b.i.d.)
I can't say that I feel any improvement, but I don't feel worse either. That's positive. On Wednesday, I definitely felt an improvement in depression that is not part of the normal course of my illness. I attribute it to Cymbalta. Unfortunately, most of that has disappeared. If there is anything positive going on, it is difficult to discern, but I believe I still have reason to be optimistic.
Regarding side effects, there is still some mild sleepiness, but it is gradually disappearing. I have noticed a bit of hesitency in urination and perhaps some restricted flow.
Cymbalta still feels very clean. I can't say that it is similar to any of the other drugs mentioned along this thread because I hardly know that I am taking it. Most of the others made themselves known by producing some kind of perceptible cognitive effect. This is producing none. Maybe I'm not taking enough.
