How long did it take for those of you taking it to notice results? Im really looking forward to it helping curb this depression. And it would be awesome if it helped clear this brain fog too! One can pray right!! Ive been on it 9 days now and no results yet! Maybe a bit of improvement of waking up with stiff legs in the am!

I'm taking Savella which is a similar drug to the one you are using. My dr. told me that it would take about two weeks to notice any real changed and that by the time I'd been on the drug for a month on the same dosage level that I would know how well it was working.

Hope that helps.

Cymbalta may help you start feeling better in a couple of weeks, but doesn't reach full potential until six to eight weeks. So be patient. I hope that it works for you.

Hugs, Karen

My sister is on it for depression and anxiety and it took about a month to kick in. The added benefit is it is helping her chronic lower back pain too!
