Week 10 of Cymbalta

Posted by steve12 on October 25, 2004, at 21:23:49

I am going on week 10 of Cymbalta and here's what I have to report:

1. First, it is not covered by my insurance (well, it requires prior justification from my PCP, who refuses to write a letter) -- thus I am relying on samples.

2. Although it was up and down in some ways, I have evened out within the past 2 weeks on 40 mgs, qam.

3. No need to take food with it.

4. It's good for anxiety

5. My libido is better, but ED is a big problem (more so than with Effexor)

6. Sweating is a big problem

7. Nonetheless, I like it -- my mood is good and I'm surpised at how good it is with anxiety

8. I intend to keep taking it -- it's my med now, unless the samples run out -- then who knows?

9. Previously, I was on effexor 150, I have also been on Celexa, Prozac, Lexapro, Anafranil, Wellbutrin.

10. I wish Lilly would come out with a 40 mgs dose, the 20's are hard to find.

11. PCP's generally are ignorant in terms of psych issues
