Hi Wildflower,

I'm a little jittery this time and having to take more klonopin to compensate. The first time around I slept a lot, ate less, and somehow lost significant weight.

I'm still at only 20mgs per day and will increase to 40mgs next week, and then 60mgs the third week. From past experience the appetite suppressing quality doesn't kick in until I'm at 40mgs or 60mgs per day.

I have experienced a kind of niacin-like flushing about 15 minutes after taking cymbalta. That's new. It's like a hot flash that lasts a few minutes. I'm definitely less depressed but still lack motivation or focus.

I'm hoping to stick it out at 60mgs per day for a long time in spite of the SE's. I don't have much of a life as it is, so I'm willing to give up sex. I just hope the higher dose kills the libido too.

At lower doses (5-10mgs per day or even less, grains of the stuff) cymbalta is an aphrodiasiac. I kept it around for recreational use.

But I have to quit playing around and take my weight problem, the depression, and alcoholism seriously. I haven't drank in over two weeks and I'm starting to exercise again.

I guess there's hope.
