Cymbalta - Has anyone here used it?
→[More:]
Background: my mum started taking it about two weeks ago. She's worried that it's not really done what she thought it would. I told her that it can take up to four weeks for anti-depressants to start working. I also told her that if she noticed her mood getting worse to call her doctor asap (she's very self-aware and already knew that, but I wanted to reiterate it).

On the plus side she's really, really happy with how it's pretty much wiped out the pain she suffers due to fibromyalgia.

I've also sent her the links from CrazyMeds and Wikipedia regarding Cymbalta.

The one thing that I didn't like about what I read (beyond the usual warnings, side-effects, etc.) was that the withdrawal symptoms can be as bad as those from Effexor (which is what I take, if y'all don't remember my thread about trying to withdraw from them).

Any and all comments and anecdotes are welcome.
