In reply to Cymbalta - side effects of fatigue and apathy, posted by Interested on May 9, 2005, at 22:05:34
> Has anyone taking Cymbalta experienced fatigue or a feeling of extreme apathy? I have been taking 60 mg per day for about 2 months (30 mg in am & 30 in pm), and when I wake up in the mornings I can hardly get myself out of bed. And I have to push myself through the day.

It was the opposite for me. I was on Cymbalta from September-January. I switched from Effexor. I started a 30 mg and went to 60 after two weeks. Initially I had more physical energy but absolutely no motivation to do anything with it. After going to 60mg I started having severe anxiety. I did sleep great though. When I switched back to Effexor to combat the anxiety, the Effexor no longer worked for anxiety (But I have been off and on Effexor half a dozen times because it had already quit working for depression).Marsha
