I've been on Cymbalta 60mg for two months. This med saved my life, literally. I'm no longer depressed, and I feel like myself again. It's completely eliminated my lifelong problem with anxiety (that kicked in within 6 hours of my first taking my meds) and I enjoy life. It also is a great diet drug, since it completely killed my appetite for the first six weeks I was taking it.
However, with the good, comes the bad:
1) Much more difficult to orgasm. HOWEVER, I'm not dead below the waist, which is a big problem with similar meds.
2) Constantly dilated pupils, which wreck havoc on my night driving.
3) I sleep a lot more, 10-12 hours a day now.All considering, it's not that bad. I hope this helps, and I hope you find a med that works for you as well as Cymbalta did for me.
