3. i've been on cymbalta for a little over a year now. i was prescribed it due to depression and mood disorders cause by an illness. i can't say i've experienced any side effects. in fact as far as i'm concerned the drug does its job and can even fix problems it wasn't prescribed to fix (like pain and sleep). it worked for me.
