Thanks for the info... I am really considering it. When I was at my full dose of Effexor I never had any issues with sexual dysfunction. It was different than without, but I never had any problems. So far with cymbalta things are just shutting down. I don't know if this is an ongoing problem or if it will get better with continued use.
I would hate to wean myself off of something that is mostly working, just to be disappointed in the end.
Anyone else have any suggestions?
