Brief Answer:
Cymbalta needs two weeks to its XXXXXXX effect.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

I read other your discussions too.

Cymbalta is started at low doses ( e. g. 30 mg/ day) and the dose is raised at therapeutic level ( e.g. 60 mg/dy) after one week.

Another week or less is needed for Cymbalta to give its proper effect.

I suggest you to have a measure of vitamin B6 blood level, because it's high or low levels manifest with neuropathy symptoms.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
