A member asked:
I am quitting cymbalta (duloxetine) after 8 weeks on 60mg. i cant afford it and i feel like a zombie. how long before im back to normal? i will not be tapering.

Treatment works: Most side effects will be gone in a few weeks. There are less expensive antidepressants which should be able to be adjusted so there are not bothersome side effects. I hope you won't give up on treatment because of one bad experience with medication. Both medication, therapy or both can be effective treatment. Treatment does work
