In reply to Cymbalta-does it work???? HELP!!!!, posted by Mandy on April 14, 2006, at 13:33:01
I wish I had a good experience to offer you. Although I did respond to Cymbalta briefly, the side effect of tiredness and fatigue remained the entire time I was on it. It did lessen with time, though. Nevertheless, three weeks is about the minimum time when subtle signs of improvement show up. If it does work for you, the magnitude of the improvement might outweigh the fatigue you experience. When I did respond to it, I really don't remember noticing the fatigue. Perhaps you should stick with it for a few weeks longer.

> I know I have asked a type of this question before, but now I am really not sure if I should stay on this med or not. Went from Lexapro and and am on 60mg cymbalta. I am tired all the time althought at first I thought it kept me awake. Would like to have opinions--take at night or during day?? Does it work? I have been on for 3 weeks. How much time should I give to know if it is working? I am not sure if I am depressed again or just plain fatigued. MY p doc is out of town for 3 weeks and I just don't know how to get motivated. I relly need input from others. PLEASE
