I took Cymbalta from August 2004 until December 2005, and finally concluded that it really wasn't doing anything at all -- except maybe making me gain weight. So, I stopped it.
Frankly, I think Cymbalta has been a disappointment to a lot of people. It doesn't seem as effective as Effexor, which is the drug it was going to challenge. The side effects, for me at least, were much milder, but then ALL the effects were much milder. It did help me with pain, but that was about it.
Hope that helps.
