> My pdoc recently took me off of Cymbalta as it seemed to stop working. I was on it for a couple of months. It's very disheartening as it appeared to be working well for a good amount of time. I don't want to discourage anyone else, and I will qualify my experience by saying I was only on 30mg. I was on 60mg for a bit but I didn't like the degree of sexual side-effects.

I was so sad to hear that Cymbalta stopped working for you (especially since I was thinking of trying it soon). As I remember, you were one of the first ones to really have a big positive effect from it. Can't the sexual side effects go away after a while? People on the boards here have reportedly added in other things to successfully combat this problem.You said it's always good in the beginning. I think that's the first time I've ever heard that. I find it's always the opposite in the beginning until my body adjusts to it and the side effects decrease. Or maybe you mean once that stage has passed.
Anyway, I hope you're happy on the Lexapro and Provigil.
