61st Cymbalta Update - Feeling Very good

September 3, 2026··
Feeling very good. Been having bouts of crying spells. Yesterday, I did 20 minutes of cardio with my heart rate around 110–120 bpm, followed by a sauna session and consciously trying to relax. I hadn’t been able to truly relax like that for a long time! Before that, I had severe pressure in my head along with extreme cognitive problems and major difficulty concentrating. Today, I was able to work with reasonably good concentration again. I just had to be careful not to let stress get to me too much. The cardio really seems to have made a huge difference for me!!! I’ve been back in a window for the past 24 hours!! I’m going to keep going! 💪 And this is after increasing my dose by only 2 mg over the past six weeks, gradually in weekly steps. @duloxetin
