> Cymbalta is doing fine by me in the 3rd week (1 week @30mg and then to 60mg). Any of the minor side effects I felt the first week (sleepiness, some flushing and temperature fluctuations) dissipated by the second week when I increased dosage. I feel I'm doing at least as well as I did on 150mg. Zoloft + 300mg. Wellbutrin.

> RayCongratulations, Ray. Glad to hear Cymbalta is working for you. I'm beginning my second week but I'm continuing at 30mg for the time being. I think the idea is to give the side effects a chance to fade, hopefully. The side effects I've experienced to date have been minor and transient, except for the anorgasmia, which kicked in the 3rd day. I'm wondering if you experienced this, and if it too has eased up with the increased dosage? Do you feel the lessening of your side effects was because you increased the dosage or happened in spite of increasing the dosage? Thanks for sharing your experiences.
