I have been taking the lowest dose of Cymbalta, daily, for about 5 years.
It has successfully affected my anxiety, depression and fibro for the most part.
I can still get symptoms, and my doctor has told me that when I am in a crisis
I should double up on my meds during that time.
Am I perfect? No, but that is something I have had to learn to cope with.
I think I remember the actual day I felt as though my physical life shifted and fibro took over,
40 years ago.
I am almost 70 and until I was diagnosed and treated properly,
(5 years ago only!) I was a different person.
It is a full-time job, looking after myself, but I am the only one that can do it from day to day.
Gaining 25 pounds, to me, is a small price to pay, even if I don't like the idea.
