Its a second day im on cymbalta and slept all day, feeling less anxious. What should I expect in the following days?

I’ve been on Cymbalta for a few years now. It does double duty for me, both helping with my depression and lessening my chronic back pain some. It never sedated me, though, even in the beginning. That’s good that you’re feeling less anxious now.

I’d say to expect more happiness and more neutral mental states.

Any sexual side effect?

Not that I’m aware of, but I’m not sexually active right now, haven’t been for a while.

How about you? Have you noticed any sexual side effects?

I’ve had more sex with my fiancée since stating Cymbalta.

I’ve been on cymbalta for years. It’s supposed to be activating, that’s why they tell you to take it in the morning. I’ve never had any sexual side effects from it.
