My doctor & I moved me to duloxetine (Cymbalta) just under a month ago for suspected fibro/ME. No negative side effects so far (phew!) but I haven't noticed much relief either. For those who've taken it a bit longed and did see improvement, about how long did it take? And, when you noticed positive change, what stood out the most?
