I have been on cymbalta for a little over one month anxiety comes and goes not sure this is the best me if just suffering from anxiety and depression due to the anxiety it self, Spoke with a phamacist and she stated you need to give it a full 6 to 8 weeks to really evaluate a drug even if you seem to have break thru early on and a regression. Not sure if this is fact or not. I too have started buspar last Friday and seems to have a little effect so far. It also takes a couple of weeks to kick in so I have decided to give the cymbalta a full six to eight weeks before trying a switch back to celexa which worked great once for me.

Hi,
I have been taking Cymbalta for 2 yrs. ;specifically,30 mg for 30 days..then 60 mg for one yr; and now 120 mg for the 2nd yr. I was diagnosed with depression/anxiety disorder 07/2005. I also have pain from cysts on ovaries/hormonal issues. Cymbalta has changed my life for the better. I look forward to each day..not to say that there aren't some days I just want to stay in bed..but less of those days then more. Cymbalta helps depression and pain effects/affects. I have gained 30 pounds in 2 yrs..but, I would rather have the added weight then uncontrollable sadness and pain on a daily basis.I hope this has helped you.

I will start diet/exercise program soon.
