I have been on Cymbalta 60 mg. for about a year now, so far no side effects that I noticed; and it also has worked the best for me. They also have me on xanax 1 mg. three times a day, which i am gradually getting off of. I spent most of the time on the couch.

I have been on cymbalta since september 30mg, then in december to 60mg, now i'm on 90mg..They say that cymbalta is the best out there for GAD and Panic disorder.. so far I still can't seem to get past my fears..As far as side effects none for me except that i'm tired. I do sleep better and at first i didn't have much of an appetite..I read tons of things about cymbalta before i took it and scared myself to death, almost didn't take it but i talked myself thru it and took it and it helps..Everyone has different side effects to meds..if ur scared have someone stay with you for the fisrt few days while you take it and that way you will feel safe...good lluck...

Did your aunt go to the hospital? Was she okay and has she continued to take Cymbalta??

Yes, I'm curious about how she is doing as well. I think I did read that one of the side effects of cymbalta is passing out if you stand to quickly. I have that problem without cymbalta though

I have been on cymbalta for a little over 30 days now at 30mg. I thought I was feeling better, but then pms struck and I'm back at square one! Anyway, my only side effects have been having a kind of heavy feeling in my brain and tiredness. One thing to note...the side effects are primarily temporary. I agree with FradyKat in that you should have someone stay with you for a while. It helps me to feel safer too.

Hey! Sorry it takes me so long to get back. I just figured out how to find the places I had been on here! LOL.

Anyway, yes my aunt is still on Cymbalta. She stopped having the passing out spells after 2 weeks. I ma a nurse, so I told her what to do if she felt light headed and she always called me to come check her BP. Still haven't tried the medicine. I am such a scardy cat!! It took me almost 7 years to take my xanax as perscribed. I would take one only after I had a horrible attack. I don't do meds well.
