I started Cymbalta 8 days ago.

I've noticed no real difference so far (and didn't expect to so soon).

I do notice that lately I've had very little desire to eat. Which, for me, is very unusual. Cooking is my passion and I love food!

Of course, my fatigue has grown worse lately so it may just be me wanting to choose sleep over making dinner.

But, in all honesty, I have to MAKE myself eat my meals. Anyone else have this side effect?

I have that side effect from Savella and the two drugs are related. I've lost 10 pounds so far and I joke that even if the Savella wasn't helping my fibro symptoms I'd still keep taking it for the appetite suppressant effects! I've been on Savella for two months now and I've noticed that my appetite is coming back, not as strongly as before, but it is there at meal times.

My rheumy said Cymbalta decreases appetite. I have a months' worth of samples but I have not tried them yet.

I stayed on Cymbalta for over a month and felt like I had morning sickness during the whole time. I finally couldn't stand to put the pill in my mouth.. I also had scary depression. I just can't take Cymbalta.
