I don't know what you consider long term, but I was on it for about 1.5 yrs. I started at 60 mg, then after about a year, she upped it to 90 mgs. I was only on 90 mgs a couple of months because that is when I started having really bad side effects. I quit "cold turkey", but then started Prozac on Day 4. Although the Prozac seemed to help with the symptoms, I still had symptoms for at least a month.

    I am a sufferer of depression and GAD. After 20 years of suffering with undiagnosed GAD (to be fair to the medical profession, it wasn't in the DSM back then) I stumbled upon Aropax following a bout of depression. Having had the therapy I badly needed at the time, I came good and did well on Aropax for 11 years. Last year I started having difficulty with sleeping and thought I was suffering the poop out effect, so I switched to Lexapro. A few months later I realised it was causing me more problems than it was solving so my GP agreed to give me a referral to a psychiatrist - so we could work out the best medicine for me. Nearly 3 weeks on Cymbalta and I've stopped already. I've had restlessness, increased insomnia (I now recognise that there is more to that), an inability to concentrate (the opposite of the real me) and nausea. I want to converse with others who are going through the same issues with medication.

Hi Mamafishy (love the name)

Cymbalta is out of your system after 5/6 days. What takes time, however, is for your brain to return to its pre-medication way of functioning. Unfortunately, since everyone is different, it is hard to say how long your symptoms will last. I wish I had better news for you.

Cheers
