  ...No dperession change, almost three weeks in. Constant panic and anxiety overwhelming me, wired out of my mind. She has been so sick, and I have taken her to the doctor so many times. I mentioned to my doctor the pain and she said 1% of people who take cymbalta can experience myalgia.

I was wide-eyed and anxious the entire night.

The day I went off I started eval that night.

  ...I took my first 30mg capsule of Cymbalta an hour before bedtime. I literally had to drag myself to the doctor and demand that they wean me off this s#&t before my life totally fell apart. Over the next 4 years I tried prozac, paxil, and zoloft with little positive effects and lots of negative side effects. Have felt overall better and far less hungry, though I don't yet dare step on a scale. She couldn't handle the side effects, she said she felt sick with flu like symptoms and very dizzy. I will never take another medication for depression or anxiety.

Then somehow I bend the frame with my bare hands.

So I was able to cope because I knew it would soon be over. cost me my marriage to a wonderful woman. It has been 9 days since i went off the cymbalta, cold turkey off the 30 mg. I also take Depakote which causes weight "gain" so the Cymbalta evens out that problem. It became evident that it was TOTALLY wrong for her but the Doctor advised her to "have patience" and keep on it. I was in so much pain I could hardly walk. I was not aware that this was being caused by me missing a dose of Paxil. , I let myself get into an extremely dangerous situation. I am going to try to divide a capsule in half in attempt to taper it off and see what happens.

Any one of my 10 medications could be the cause.

  ...This has worked well for me and has given me back my life Im currently taking 30 mg of cymbalta and have noticed a slight increase in appetite but nothing that is too crazy. 12 years ago I was on Prozac for severe post-partum depression. com if any one needs someone to talk to or just a few words of support just send me a message this has got to stop we are human not animals to be tested on damit he me roar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 I was prescribed Cymbalta for extreme backpain and migraines.

  ...Cymbalta withdrawal Carbohydrate Craving - A drive and craving to eat foods rich in sugar and starches (sweets, snacks and junk foods) that intensifies as the diet becomes more and more unbalanced due to the unbalancing of the proper nutritional requirements of the body. If Lilly withheld and minimized the risk of Zyprexa causing diabetes, I can only imagine what they've withheld about Cymbalta. I am on cymbalta and have been for a few months. During this time my new boss was a jerk within the past eighteen months. I was put on Cymbalta 30 and for once in my life I felt as though I was myself. He is still struggling to have motivation for anything and feels a bit fatigued however, we're attributing that to his line of work requiring him to work in the summer heat. I started taking klonopin as a 'quick fix' for anxiety due to some medical issues. ...

  ...I've been taking Cymbalta for almost 2 years, for migraine, @ 90mg/day.

I'm glad I'm weaning off of this medication now.

I am currently on my second wave of Cymbalta.

  ...I'm just trying cymbalta and for me it is different. WELL I TAPERED TO 30MG EVERY OTHER DAY AND THEN THE MISERY BEGAN.

That's when I decided to just stop taking them.

  ...I started cymbalta after trying a number of ssri's. Any suggestions for another nerve pain med. I was originally prescribed Effexor as a last chance med before my psychiatrist, psychologist and primary care doctor considered electroshock treatments. I actually ended up in the emergency room because I had fainted. She asways handled her stress with her music or dance. Any suggestions on how long to "wait out" the withdrawal before asking my doctor to go to a weaning regimen I keep thinking they'll get better; it's been a week now and I'm hoping they subside. As with all other meds I have tried, Cymbalta seemed to work great in the beginning except for some initial dizziness/nausea. Then the nightmares came, followed by night sweats Could I be changing life Is that what's wrong And do I watch too much gory TV, is that what the nightmares are from I Googles Cymbalta and nightmares and finally found out the truth behind this drug. I tapered very slowly; every time I tried to go faster, I had a horrible time and had to go back up. It seems that no matter how much I sleep, I cannot sleep enough. I was experiencing similar but less severe symptoms at 30 mg. I am a single mother and my son has SID and an Austism Spectrum Disorder. When I first began taking cymbalta, 60 mg it was a total life saver. More severely, a person can end up with an abnormal heart, as well as breathing and digestive difficulties. 9% sure it is just withdrawals and not some life threatening problem. The brain fog/poor memory and lethargy interfered with my own good judgement in observing the severity of my symptoms. The first psychotherapist is not always the right one for you. I too discourage anyone from taking this medication. but now I'm short of breath, and I'm not sure whether it's because I messed with the Cymbalta doseage. I hope that the low dosages that I've taken for this short time do not affect me for the short (or long) term. Questions that when you ask the doctors they look at you like you have 4 heads. ...

  ...I recently tried to quit the Cymbalta to no avail. I have also taken many of the SSRIs available on the market, and it should be noted I also take Wellbutrin XL, 450 mg daily. I have decided to stay at 5mg until the symptoms abate, then try 2. But the sexual and urilogical side effects are annoying too. Anyone else have this happen Cymbalta withdrawal Panic Reaction - A sudden, overpowering, chaotic and confused mental state of terror resulting in being doubt ridden often accompanied with hyperventilation, and extreme anxiety.

I am in aplace I was when I was my sickest with bi-polar. said he didn't think Paxil CR was doing ANYTHING for me). I really wasn’t getting too much body pain relief from taken it, but I was able to feel a wider range of emotions from the generally flat feeling the Lexapro and Wellbutrin gave me. ...

  ...I have been on cymbalta for a year, from 30 to 60 to 90 and then back to 60.

i dont take it till 9 so im not tierd all day.

  ...Am in the process of weaning off of cymbalta after having been on it for almost 6 months for severe depression - am probably tapering too fast but I want off - was on 60 ml. I was on 60 ml of this drug, and weaned to 30, then 15, then cold turkey. Or excessive anger and frustration Thanks When my doctor prescribed this medication to me for depression I thought I'd do a little research to see what I could potentially be in for. He was happy I was finally willing to admit it and use an antidepressant. Cymbalta withdrawal Crying Abnormal - Unusual and not normal fits of weeping for short or long periods of time for no apparent reason.

Think, it's patriotic (and sometimes cathartic).

  ...But I told him I'd be willing to try something new, in part because I don't want to alienate a doctor who impressed me as being thorough and well-trained and a real potential ally in helping me manage my chronic illnesses. Is anyone else on this particular combination of drugs I would like to know if anyone has had similar symptoms. Wow, great med that decreased my smoking to less than a pack a day from 2 packs a day. ) The first day after taking the Ambien I got extremely nauseous and weak (thought it was the Ambien at first), then happened to read up on Cymbalta & w/d symptoms, and I have been off Cymbalta now for about 18 days. Even when I get ample sleep I have trouble keeping my head up and even more trouble paying attention than before.

I AM A HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONAL AND TRUST MY DR.

  ...Hi Suzanne, You can file an adverse-event report yourself, but I think they need confirmation from your doc for a serious adverse eventnot sure. This web site has answered a lot of questions for me. An antiarrhythmic such as flecainide (Tambocor) or propafenone (Rythmol) etc. God, I hope NO-ONE ever takes cymbalta it is the DEVIL'S drug. I would look elsewhere online to have a more balanced perspective; definitely don't rely just on this website. Can anyone recommend ANYTHING, but NOT a prescription ! Made a typo in above post, my apologies: Cymbalta drug sheet at. Will it ever stop Cymbalta withdrawal Flatulence - More gas than normal in the digestive organs. i have been taking cymbalta for 4 months. The first thing, some drugs DO work for some people. If I could go back I'd have done that before weaning off this time, but I don't want to trouble with it now, being so close. I am on day 4 of being off and again am suicidal and can't function. Unfortunatly I was in such a brain fog, and occupied trying to keep what became the rag tag remnants of my life afloat. I thought If I would be allergic to it, it would have happened sooner, but it took almost three months for it to almost kill me. I was doing very well on Celexa until my dad passed away last summer. The constipation went away after one week. It deffinetly has some hooks eventhough it sucked on it i feel like i have to take it. exposure every day better if combined with hot heat like a sauna). And, yes, when I speak to doc about sleeping all day long - he just increased the dose. I also constantly feel like I have a sinus infection - this is definitely not right. I have taken Zoloft, Prozac and Paxil (and every generic version in between), none of these drugs yielded the side effects I have experienced with missed doses or trying to quit Cymbalta.

But obviously not enough to allow me to sleep.

  ...I'm so sorry so many people have had bad experiences with Cymbalta. I will be 60 and certainly do NOT need to introduce horror into my life at this point! This new internist was loathe to prescribe more hydrocodone for me (only 5 mg she gives me, #30, no refills), but enthusiastically praised Cymbalta. Still feeling cloudy and dizzy but glad to get off of this drug!! Wellbutrin is completely different to Cymbalta (and the other SSRIs/SNRIs). Nice to hear others out there have similar side effects and positives . I never want to eat, and have gone for 3 days without eating. I was nauseous about an hour after taking the med and felt like my heart was going to beat out of my chest. Three days ago I stopped taking it and by today the withdrawl was intolerable. IF I MISSED A DOSE EVEN 1 DAY BY THAT EVENING I WAS DIZZY. I stopped taking Wellbutrin because it was not working and I had leg pains and thought it might be from the meds. I cope much better and feel I'm due a rest. How long should I wait to feel any benefits ...

  ...Cymbalta withdrawal SPECIAL SENSES Moderate to severe dry mouth and dry eyes, occasional constipation or gastric symptoms. Some AD's made me suicidal within 3 days of start. It helps to know there are others like me who are going through this experience Cymbalta withdrawal Urinary Frequency - Having to urinate more often than usual or between unusually short time periods. Plus - I received no pain relief from Cymbalta, the reason it was scripted to begin with. They need to be taken for up to a year before talking to a specialist about stopping, changing or lowering the dose of the drug. Medicine seems to be kicking in over the last 2 days. My sex drive has actually increased but harder to orgasm. My eyes are blurry and i've had a headache for days. In the first couple of weeks the only side effects I experienced were yawning(could not stop) and dry mouth. I have been on Effexor for about 4 years and yes, if I miss a dose I started getting horrible side effects. Needless to say those pills are going in the garbage. An increase of 60 mgs sent me into a spin and I had to be put back on 30. at bedtime and just 10mg of flexeril twice a day for my muscle pain. Why jump from 60 to 120 There is room in there for 90, because it works. I know I should talk to my doctor again, but I HATE switching meds because of the way I treat my hsuband and 3 kids.

I'm tired of treating it without resolving it.

  ...If you google for a Cymbalta drug information sheet, then you will find the muscle cramps/twitches. The major side effect I am having from the Cymbalta is flatulence (gas) and some stomach cramping. Unfortunately, we all also have to weigh the pros and cons of all antidepressants, as they all have their pitfalls. I've switched back (on my own as I had plenty of refills left) to the Effexor, and so far so good. Ofcoarse, my doctor makes sure a cocktail of meds are provided. Cold turkey is absolutely not recommended. Unfortunately for me, I will probably need to be taking Cymbalta the rest of my life. However, these are tolerable side effects for me personally. My doc prescribed me cymbalta due to chronic pain. I lost my son a few years ago and holidays are not good anymore. This is what I have noticed from taking just ONE Cymbalta 30mg pill. I have noticed this drug gives me a very happy-go-lucky, apathetic feeling, which is a relief after the years of intense anxiety I've had but also disturbs me that I can so easily be unaffected by things. But after about 4 weeks of taking 30 mg. Hopefully this will help someone trying to get off the cymbalta. No sooner would I get to sleep and another would begin. BUT YOU SHOULD NOT ENCOURAGE ANYONE TO TAKE A MEDICINE THAT CAN CAUSE SOMEONE TO GO THROUGH THIS MISERY,EVER!!! EVEN IF ONE PERSON GOES THROUGH IT THEN THAT'S TOO MANY. ...

It was a combination of two drugs that were pill form and not capsules. I have read good and bad, and pray that I am one of the good. counting out the beads inside the pills and going down 30 beads a week seems to have the least pain associated with it. No matter how lethargic you feel get yourself up and out and if nothing else walk fast and swing those arms.

  ...After a bout with severe chest pains, causing me to have a arteriogram, my doctor put me on Cymbalta for the severe depression, anxiety and stress. All the usual suspects, Zoloft, Paxil etc. com about their experiences with Cymbalta and now I am almost scared to take it. I have actually thought that I might be losing my mind. THIS STUFF SHOULD BE BANNED! i am now looking into an all natural way to beat this. I just thought I'd better make myself clear that I'd hate to see anyone make themselves worse or suicidal by going off of anything that they felt was keeping them alive. Anonymous, couldn't you get in trouble for dispensing the kind of advice you're doling out Think, it's patriotic, Spishak ...

  ...I'm just trying to figure out how any of the people that have tried Cymbalta were able to "last so long". I was on 60mg to begin with and the dropped it down to 30mg for a week before finally going cold-turkey. Three weeks ago the doc and I decided it was time to wean off it. In it's place however, it has created a blurred vision, dizzy, comatose patient who sleeps more than a hibernating bear (and is slightly grumpier). I'd get choked up at the simplest things. last night I got up and went to the fitness club at 3 a. Research any Medication before going on it and discuss it with your Dr. However since the first week, I feel so much better. Thank God I didn't go through all of these things that you guys are talking about. I have tried several different medications. I know that fatigue is one of the common side effects. I am not feeling quite as bad as i was last week when i wrote. Because I am a good girl, usually, I went back to my doctor and we agreed that I should get off Cymbalta. About a week ago, I was diagnosed with rapid-cycling bipolarism. This medication has balanced me out to be "NORMAL" if there is such a thing. Let me explain: I was really getting fed up with myself, thinking that I was just a tit-bag and "there is always something wrong".

I have a bad headache and can't think clearly.

  ...Thank you for sharing your stories - even if they were positives of Cymbalta. The cymbalta has helped, but it has sapped me of lots of motivation.

As I sit here typing my scalp itches terribly as do different parts of my body, I've also experienced the hellacious tiredness, headaches and I've got the chills and sweats throughout the day, not just at night, mainly on my scalp. When it stopped working, I went to 60 mg. I finally decided to bump back up to 90, and the headaches went back to normal. Nothing and I mean nothing would make me take a second dose of this drug. Desperately try to find relief form these feelings I decided to take one of those Cymbaltas after I left his office around 10:00am.

Contacting your doctor is probably a good idea.

  ...HI FELLOW CYMBALTA USERS, Cymbalta withdrawal Psychiatric Disorders (Mental and emotional) the 16 year old girl whos aniexty has taken over compleatly, and the cymbalta has now just made me go insane. Also, when it comes to suicide risks that people mention, that is yet again another horrible side effect risk which many, if not all anti-depressants hold. I go back to my doctor today and definately after reading just a few of these comments I am going to be asked to be taken off. I have gained 10 pounds in the past three months, but it simply can't be related to Cymbalta after all this time. The result was an abject disaster on every possible level. To prepare capsules for week 1, I took 80 beads out of a 60 mg capsule.

I have horrible night sweats and sleep terribly.
