It's normal: Cymbalta can affect your libido both ways. It's more common to find a low libido, but it can also increase it.

Side effects vary: Yes, you are correct, common side effects of cymbalta include decreased libido and anorgasmia. However, it is possible if you were suffering decreased libido due to depression, and cymbalta relieved some of your depression, your libido (sex drive) has come back. It is also possible that you are experiencing an idiosyncratic side effect (specific to you). Check with your prescribing doctor.
