Benefits
I started Cymbalta for my depression and chest pain. It took quite a while to initiate its effect. It markedly improved my mood; the pain however, was not completely relieved but what left was quite bearable. The depression was gone; I started taking interest in life again and felt a lot motivated. I feel more confident and am socially more active now. It has significantly reduced my anxiety symptoms; I cry less and don’t fuss about petty things.
Side Effects
There was the feeling of lightheadedness and fatigue in the beginning while taking Cymbalta pills but it went away with time. However, I still suffer with constipation and a very dry tongue, which are quite bothersome.
