I've been on the Cymbalta since early October. Aside from being sick about a month ago, I have taken it nearly every night. I may forget a night here or there, but I do take it pretty regularly. When I didn't take it due to being sick last month, I didn't take it for about 6 days. I was stupid, and didn't realize that I could have caused my body/brain more harm than good by not taking it for so long. I could have had seizures- or worse. I did feel that my brain was a little fuzzy the day before I started taking it again. Since then, I have taken it every night.
I feel good, in the areas of feelings. I don't have the anxiety, the worry, the fear. However, I truly can't feel any of that. It was a bothersome at first. Now, not so much. My hands have been hurting off and on for the better part of a week now. They are pretty tender around the knuckles.
I've lost almost 10 lbs since September. I'm getting back more and more to myself. I ran my first timed 5k in over a year last weekend, and didn't do too bad. I promptly got sick seconds after finishing. I'm crocheting a lot more now. All in all, I'm back to enjoying my life, and doing things that I love.
