> I also have the dilated pupils on Cymbalta and now blurry vision as well and I`ve only just (after 3 weeks) gotten up to 20 mg. It`s very scary. I hate this drug. Is it really just an expensive new tricyclic?-it seems to have the same side effects. The sweating and hot flashes and anxiety are bad enough, but vision problems really freak me out. I just hate to give up on it so soon-there`s nothing else left to try. Cecilia

I am so sorry Cymbalta is not working out for you. I understand your distress at giving up on it so soon. I barely made it through two weeks with many of the same side effects you're experiencing plus anorgasmia. I agonized over discontinuing and still don't know if I did the right thing. Not only was I disappointed but I felt like a failure at some level. And that's why I want to thank you for your post. Somehow it helps me put the failure back on the chemistry and not me. It is a small consolation, I know, but on another level it's huge.
