In reply to I;m about to start Cymbalta.... any one expereince, posted by mmcconathy on January 10, 2005, at 19:04:20
Matt- I was on Cymbalta. I started at 30mg and for about 5 days it made me really sleepy so I took it at night. After about a week or so the sleepiness vanished. I quickly moved up to 60mg. No side effects - I'd compare it to an SSRI. Even tho it's an SNRI like Effexor - it didn't compare at all to Effexor (for me). It helped my depression to a certain degree - but increased my apathy. I recently switched from Cymbalta to Lexapro and my apathy has improved. BUT we're all different and you never know how it will effect you. As far as sexual side effects- I didn't notice any.
Good luck
Jerry
