Does anyone take Cymbalta? If so in the morning or at night?

I started at night because the Dr. said it causes nausea. But I had a hard time sleeping. I take it about 3pm now....and still cannot get sleep, I had to get a prescription for a sleep aid.
I am now going to ween myself off.... it is expensive and has not really helped me.

I take it in the morning. The nausea was there in the beginning but isnt there anymore. It works well for me. My depression manifests itself as anxiety and I think that is part of why the cymbalta does work so well.

I think the Cymbalta makes me sleepy but I still take a sleep aid. I have been taking the Cymbalta going on two weeks. How long will it take for the nausea to lighten up? It's also making me feel an unwanted hunger after I take it. What were you taking for sleep?
