> > I've been on Cymbalta for a week and the sleepiness continues. I thought I'd be able to make it without a nap yesterday, but I decided to take a nap at 5:30pm. I didn't wake up until 6:30 this morning. I missed my 30th birthday dinner because of this damned drowsiness. >

> I'm having the same problem. Even if it does go away with time (and who knows if it really will) I don't know how I'll last through to that point because of work. I can't sleep the day away and still earn a living. Anyone come up with a successful strategy for combatting the sleepiness?

Does coffee help at all? I just started on Cymbalta but am at a very low dose so I don't have this problem yet. Others on the board have reported that it goes away if you can hang on longer. I think I've read that it generally takes 3-4 weeks though.
