I was on cymbalta for 3 years, 60mg. I found it stopped working and I hated the side effects: sweating, no sex drive, flu-like symptoms, etc. So I went to a psychiatrist. She had me go from 60mg to 30mg per day for 3 weeks, then take 30mg every other day for 1 week, then stop. Well, I did that and couldn't take the side effects, mostly the brain zaps. So, she prescribed a low dose of Prozac. Well, that worked! I'm now off Cymbalta for about a month and off Prozac. I do feel better and I hope my sex drive will come back. The sweating is decreasing a little, but so far I still have no sex drive. Although, I have sex dreams while sleeping. I'd like to know how long it will take to get my drive back.
