"I was diagnosed before 2 years with Permanent depression, Major depression And anxiety disorder. My anxiety was at the worst of my life. I had started with 30 mg for 2-3weeks, then switched to 60mg for almost half a year, then I increased my dose to 90mg. For the last 3 months I am again at 60mg. To tell the truth, I can't imagine how I had been living without cymbalta. This medicine not only saved my life. This medicine made my Life to be worthy. Tomorrow I will visit my psychiatrist and maybe the dose will be reduced to 30mg. If you asked me before a year, I probably rate cymbalta with just a 9 because I was experiencing some side effects (dry mouth, dizziness), But now I am not anymore and the quality of my life is perfect. I can't say If this medicine will work for everyone. But I am happy that it worked brilliantly for me."

"I have been diagnosed with dysthymia since 2004. Little was known about or how to treat at that time. Now we know so much and how to treat. It even has a new name. Cymbalta gave me a chance at life again in so many ways. Dysthymia has no chance against Cymbalta! Cymbalta is amazing!"

"I have tried every antidepressant on the market, you name it: Prozac, Effexor, Zoloft, Wellbutrin, Pregabalin. I suffer from depression, general anxiety, sadness, poor self-esteem since I can remember. Plus a lot of personal traumatic experiences made me really hopeless and terribly harsh on myself. Every time my doctor switched medication, I came here to read only the positive reviews and every time I read 'it was a life changer' I was filled with hope. Sadly, none of them was a life changer for me and I thought that my brain and body were just not responding to medications. Until she prescribed me Duloxetine, which I took with very poor trust, feeling at the lowest in my life. Well, believe me or not, in 48 hours I felt a real, tangible change in my mood. I started looking at life differently, feeling generally better even if my current situation was basically the same. Most of all, I stopped beating myself up for good. Today I can finally say 'it was a life changer'. Give it a try!"
