Well good, I am glad that the person who wanted the 2 month report read it!
I really have had no side effects from cymbalta. I sleep really well but do have the serotonin dream weirdness. I guess you could call that a side effect but it is not bothersome so I don't think of it. Another thing I forget to mention because I have had it ever since I have started meds is the sexual dysfunction. That is the one side effect I have and I have it on all of them.
I wondered if I was really bipolar II with the combination of depression and anxiety that I have and gave lamictal and topamax a trial. They did nothing for me. The only thing that helps is something with serotonin in it and then I have to augment with something for energy and motivation. I was on strattera and prozac before cymbalta. It could well be that my conditioning to strattera is what has enabled me to be side effect free on the cymbalta. It took me a really long time to adjust to the strattera and I didn't like the one side effect that did not go away and that was the breathlessness and weakness I would get when doing something exertional. That really interfered with my way of life.
What a bunch of rambling tonight. I hope some of this helps someone.

Donna
