> I was tapered by my internist from 300 mg Effexor per day,(after almost 4 years) to 60 mg Cymbalta in just 4 weeks. NO adverse effects--in fact no effects at all except I got my sex drive back. So far, Cymbalta's been working great--no depression. It may not be right for everyone, but it's sure nice to get my sex drive back.

That's really great! I don't know why so many posters here talk about Cymbalta being such a failure. I've read several very positive posts here lately. I wish I could have tolerated it better. I only took a small dosage for a short while but I felt both groggy and yet stimulated (probably tachycardia) at the same time. It was scary. I also started it when I was at the end of my taper from Effexor. I think it's a really good thing to take to prevent Effexor withdrawal symptoms.Kara
