The sweating is all day, but more pronounced in the morning (as for what's causing it, no one knows, but Lilly's prelim research suggests that this is a problem with Cymbalta -- probably due to NE increase). Coping has been difficult as I wear a suit and tie each day. I wear white shirts exclusively to hide it. As for the sexual side effects -- it's all of those.
I have lost 12 lbs (I gained weight on SSRI's). I basiclly don't feel hungry. I'm hoping that reducing the dose to 40 mgs will reduce the sweating but keep the +'s of this med.
