I have also been taking Cymbalta for years (15) . I take it for depression and haven't noticed any side effects. It has helped me a lot, especially after trying other meds; Effexor, Paxil. I take 120mg daily. Your health condition is different from mine so it is always good to talk to your pharmacist. I hope it helps you and wish you all the best!

I have been taking Cymbalta 60 mg for years also for depression and haven't had any side effects. I noticed the Cymbalta by itself wasn't helping 100% anymore. Dr. put me on Wellbuttrin and dropped Cymbalta to 30 mg. That didn't help either so dropped Wellbuttrin and back to 60 mg Cymbalta. Will be seeing him next week and wondering if anyone else has needed to add another depression drug to Cymbalta and what their experience was?

Welcome, @luv2hike. Such wise advice. One's pharmacist is a great source of information that people don't always think of as part of their health team. I ask my pharmacist a lot of questions.
