Only been on it for a few days and it seems to be working so far, although I have some mild gastrointestinal issues; I tried a couple SSRIs in the past and they did nothing for me
I think the people here have to keep in mind that everyone is different; what works for you might not work for someone else and vise versa
Tired of these negative comments shut the Fuck Up.. I Been Using This Drug And ITs Been Fucking Great! Im Just withdrawling For people who are depressed or anixiety this shit works depends who the person is though! =) keep ur head up!
I just started taking this 3 days ago and I've notice that I get quite tired after about an hour of taking the pill, my appitie has decreased and I've lost 500 grams in 3 days, it's us normal to feel quite airy in the head and if do how long does that feeling last ?
This is good medicine. For me,It makes my mood much better and i have a lot energy, i get so outgoing when i use it. But my stomach gets bad and i almost all day want to puke. I dont puke but i want so! And i almost eat nothing. its nice way to lose some weight, but it feels so bad all day! It drives me damn crazy. Dont know what to do. Does anybody have problems like me?
all pills are poisonous chemicals,thats why we have a fucked up world,to many people on drugs.lithium for mental illness is battery acid,the same chemical
in batteries,just break open a battery and eat it.the world of dummies who can't read still love to eat poison pills.
@RoyBrown43 you're an idiot, you obviously have not experienced anything bad enough to where these medications are a last hope. They work, not the same one for everybody, but they work. Our brains are very complex and all very different from one another, it's not like prescribing an antibiotic. These medications are ment to help people, and they do help people.
I'm looking for something to replace my Tramadol. I have heard Cymbalta is the same. I have degenerative disc disease in my lower back with chronic pain daily, my tramadol seems to have an anti-depressant effect on me when I take it for back pain & it helps a great dealfor both these issues. I'm wondering if Cymbalta would work for me just like my Tramadol does???
ive had severe depression and anxiety for 5 yrs now. During my first session with a psych, i was told that its a wonder why i havent thought about killing myself. i was first prescribed 30mg of cymbalta that had no effect due to the severity of my depression, i was then bumped up to 60mg then 90mg im now on 120mg dosage. THIS DRUG WORKS. it has made a big difference in the quality of my life. and my general mood and out look on life and myslef. I believe in the NWO but this drug works.
Ya know, it should be illegal for drug companies to advertise to the patient on television. They spend MILLIONS on clever marketing schemes to make a person think they must have or NEED that drug! Companies like Eli Lilly rake in billions of dollars while people hang themselves from take Cymbalta. MANY HAVE COMMITTED SUICIDE from taking this anti-depressant! How screwed up is that?
DO NOT TAKE IT! I did and it is poison. Its basically like heroine only CONTROLLED by your doctor. STAY AWAY!
@DeusUniversa10 just dont drink with it, alcohol kinda screws it upand makes it stop working. also dont listen to all the srewballs raving about this drug promoting craziness or suicide.im taking 120mg for two months now and ive been fine. coming off it can be rough though, i ran out and was unable toget more for a week and i couldnt conentrate at all.
@DeusUniversa10 Hi there, I also take Cymbalta & Lyrica. Cymbalta in the first week is a little scary due to the side effects and how it makes you feel: which will make you sick at your stomach, decrease eating habits, and severe mood swings and makes you feel loopy. I reccomend giving the Cymbalta 3 weeks for your body to get used to it, for it definetly helps with severe depression and makes you feel better mentally. I hope this helps, take care
I have a anxiety disorder and have been on cymbalta for over a week now. i havent had any major problems with this medication. it does make me sleepy. it has worked better then any other medication i have been on.. Paxil was a complete disaster for me. i had brain zaps and everything... so before saying THIS drug is HORRIBLE do not take it.. remember medications do effect everyone differently.. what works for me may not work for you and the other way around..
DON"T TAKE THIS DRUG, IT IS DANGEROUS! I took one dose, went to hell and back. NEVER AGAIN! The brainzaps, oh my God. Why don't they tell people the TRUTH about the REAL side effects? Bastards. The institutions that allow this drug to come on the market, including the Govs? DOWN WITH THEM. They should all try it before approving it!!!! I am putting a complaint against the doc who prescibed this thing to me. People have committed suicide on this drug and THIS is the truth. The system is corrupt.
@jackinla8 VERY TRUE. Please people do research to see how the FDA is in bed with the Big Pharma! They pay them off to sell us POISON! They don't care that little billy is hanging himself in his mother's bedroom because Cymbalta pushed him over the edge! Many have killed themselves on this.
For depression I take supplements. And now I feel much better and with energy. I take Omnilife supplements. The supplement that I took has choline, niacin,taurine and vitamin B12 and other things. it is just too much to list
@1989NikeMcfly You're right -- The B Vitamins work GREAT for depression -- I like Sugarfree Rockstar drink which is loaded with all the Bs and has 1000 mg of Taurine -- really perks me up (quickly).
Took my first 30mg tablet yesterday and I feel like I'm on speed also! I certainly feel better than yesterday but a little concerned how normal this is.
ive been on all 3 strengths of cymbalta..i found to be more relaxed than happy...but it made me extremely lazy....i'm now on venlafaxine which i think is a billion times better
Don't judge ANY medication within the first few days. It's normal, your body has to adjust to the medication. Cymbalta is working great for me, and NO I'm not trying to 'advertise' it .... If after a couple weeks you still have nausea, you might want to reconsider though. Oh, and when you get bumped up to 60mg expect a little dizziness the first couple days you take it, it's a little intense but after 4 weeks you just might feel like a new person.....I'm a former alcoholic and this is my cure.
This was like speed for the first day of 60mg. I immediatly went to a 30mg and now have been on it 3 weeks. I'm sleeping very very well despite being cut off from my ambien supply, and I'm less anxious, more talkative, I can feel emotions again, and I love sex again. My depressive symptoms are cured.
This video is ridiculous. A pharmacist should know better than to use the "correct a chemical imbalance" explanation, and she CERTAINLY should know better than to call NE and 5HTP "feel good" hormones (hormones?? in the brain, they are neurotransmitters!!). Antidepressants work not because they release "feel good" chemicals, but rather through various downstream changes in the brain that result weeks later, especially the growth of new brain cells and increased plasticity. What a moron...
I took Effexor for 2 years and developed an allergic reaction to it. I was given Cymbalta and 2 pills almost killed me. Brown urine..when I brought up those first 2 pills they removed all the skin on the roof of my mouth and they burned my GI track from top to bottom. Now I'm constipated everyday and have a bad taste and odor all the time. This drug ruined my life.
i have been taking this drug for a month now, and luckily i haven't had any side effects like the two different ADs i have taken, unfortunately i have had no improvement at all. i've been on three drugs now and none have worked :(
i took 30mgs a day for 6 months with fantastic results i stopped taking it abruptly (not recomended) and had zero withdrawl symptoms..3 months later i felt depression and anxiety start to take over again so i put myself back on 30mgs and now i am all better again..cymbalta worked 100% with minor side effects
After reading all the comments and information about this med., why would anyone want to take it. The Doctor prescribed me this among other other meds, and after reading about it, I CRINGE. I do believe that its ALL ABOUT THE MONEY.
@romester07 whos smarter, doctors or youtube bloggers? 95% of comments are negative but EVERYONE i know that used cymbalta had positive results with minor side effects.,..this drug works i couldnt leave my house for 2 years and now im loving life again
This stuff is poison. Side effects are deadly. My relative never voiced suicidal thoughts unless on psychotropic drugs. The last one prescribed was Cymbalta where the dr. failed to inform us about what a black box warning was. My relative is dead due to Cymbalta. The tradeoff is NOT worth it. There are other less toxic remedies to pain management. Besides the relative started out with a back ache........DANGER!
It almost killed me. I brought up the second pill and it took off ALL the skin in my mouth and gums. I urinated brown lumps for a week. I can't to this day have a bowel movement without help and its been 2 years. Taking this drug is like playing Russian roulette.
@undefinedwarp Still alive..but never the same. A family member took something about 4 months ago for a skin problem ( roseashia ) and now he has days to live..3 pills killed his liver..He is 48 years old.
Basically we're not exactly sure how SSRIs or SNRIs work... most of the time they elevate mood, but every once in a while it will bring mood lower. It happens more commonly in adolescents because their brain chemistry is changing so rapidly.
This actually happened to me when I initially took Zoloft. I'm on Cymbalta now and I feel like a different happier person.
For liability reasons drug companies have to give you that warning despite the fact that it happens rarely, like <1%.
All I can say is that cymbalta saved my life and none of the other drugs made it possible. I'm not sure if I can give up taking cymbalta one day, and I know it'll be so hard but I don't care. I'm just trying to seize the day.
TOTALLY and 110% ready for the insane asylum. Cold turkey off this DEVIL and Clonazapam... I am NOW hiding in my own room (LOCKED door), even from my husband. NOONE can see me in this state. I am having unconscious jaw 'stretching' and twitching, can not talk correctly all the time and am drooling. Along with everything I have found today on the net on the subject of Cymbalta withdrawls.
DO NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT EVER START THE USE OF THIS DRUG... speaking from my heart and experience

will this help my GAD? anxiety?? i got from a bad pot experince??? ive tryed alot of SSRI's like zoloft and paxil.. horrible.. also xananx and klonopin.. nothing works.. im on 10mg of oxzepam 4-6 times a day.. doctors says i can have up to 100mg a day.. also have IBD..colitis.. ive been on alot of things for my anxiety ..natrual things too ect 4 life ..any advice please feel free.best regards
Medicines like this are the snake oils of the 21st century. What other branch of responsible medicine says we dont know how it works or if it will work, but try it anyway?
Its incredible that we are still using drugs like this that have so many dangerous side effects when instead someone with depression could use medical marijuana which is completely natural and promotes good health all around. These horrible drug corporations are just pumping us full of more and more toxic "medicines" that we just need other medicines to treat the side effects.
I wonder, since seritonin is made from your pineal gland and floride in water is calcifieing most of our glands thanks to world health organizations. well , cymbalta creates seritonin in the brain? why not just decalcifie your pineal gland and drink better water and use floride free toothpaste ect. Ilive with pain, very bad on my back and tried this, got up to 160mg, got STRUCK with dizzy spells and mustlr attacks like a palsee , imediatly quit them, now 3 wkks passed and still getting dizzy,
@bolloram will this help my GAD? anxiety?? i got from a bad pot experince??? ive tryed alot of SSRI's like zoloft and paxil.. horrible.. also xananx and klonopin.. nothing works.. im on 10mg of oxzepam 4-6 times a day.. doctors says i can have up to 100mg a day.. also have IBD..colitis.. ive been on alot of things for my anxiety ..natrual things too ect 4 life ..any advice please feel free.best regards
2nd month 30 mgs a day....all beginning side effects are gone..helps alot with agitation and stress..i have days where i feel really fatigued but not often..after 2 months i would rate this med 10 out of 10...benzos never worked for me now if i take a .5 mg klonopin i feel great..cymbalta would be a great option for all you benzo junkies lol..i stay away from them because of the depression they give me
im 18 and have taken cymbalta for w ahile for anxiety and depression. it nvr has rely worked...went to the docs today to talk about it and talked about my sicial anxiety. she was a nurse practitionaer my mom said and gav me vistaril and buspar..i asked what to do with my cymbalta and she said toss it.. this is wrong right.. id go into withdrawl right? i cant trust anyone anymomre. i wish the doctor would just put me on a benzo or somethin so this shitty ass social anxiety coul stop
@TheScreamingRetard you have to becareful with benzos..they can cause depression...at age18 you should be doing alot of talk therapy for social anxiety...you should ask your doc for something incase of an emergency like a low dose of klonopin (.5mgs) and set up some talk therapy sessions..social anxiety runs all over my family and therapy did wonders for most of us..use the benzos safely, take them only when needed..trust me, a benzo withdrawal is a nightmare
There it is again.0.30 They 'believe' it increases the seratonin level. Their research is based on belief? I thought that was for spiritual things not scientific things
You're welcome! I was a bit scared when I started because of all the negativity on the internet around this medicine, but then again people are more likely to complain when they are unsatisfied than share good results.
I had the nausea too, never actually puked but did feel somewhat dizzy and had an achy stomach for a while. I guess the side effects vary a lot, but this is considered normal especially during the first few days,
Yes, all of them are gone now, except a bit of insomnia every now and then. I can't always sleep well... for the rest, I can't say I experience any negative effects anymore. It took a while to get used to the medicine and I have felt truly bad during the first few days, but it does get better. Really.
@ashers303 thank you...insomnia and nausea from time to time is all im dealing with and its really not that bad.. im glad to hear you have had success with this medication
Thank you, best of luck to you too. It will get better! If it doesn't within like, two to three weeks, be sure to contact your doctor concerning any obvious side effects that remain present.
For me, the pros outweigh the cons by far so it really fits my condition. Best of luck!
To be honest, I am very satisfied with the results. Insomnia is really the only side effect I get from this, but I am willing to put up with that in some way. I was dealing with severe Panic Disorder for over a year and my complaints are gone since I started Cymbalta. The first two weeks were different though, you really have to get through those. I was tired all the time, had no desire to eat anything and I was yawning all day... but now all of that is gone and I feel better than ever. Truly.
Oh and I was told this is one of the mildest anti depressants. Since I am quite young the psychiatrist recommended this. I'm on 60mg btw. If they prescribed 30mgs in your case, I am sure that is what fits in your case of BiPolar disorder. Every case is different of course, and so are everyone's experiences. You really have to see for yourself. There are many positive and many negative reactions... it varies from person to person I guess, but don't let that scare you off. I am doing great.
@ashers303 thank you very much.........its around noon in ny and i just took my first cymbalta, hopefully i have the success you have had...ive been researching this drug like a maniac but i like to hear the real side effects from people who are on it
Good luck. :) The first two weeks were pretty weird in my case, I felt really out of this world and had to let the medicine work its way into my system... but that passed quickly. I hope it will work for you. I'm sure your doctor will keep you under supervision, so if it doesn't turn out to be the right medicine for you, they will help you further along.
@ashers303 i took my first pill today at noon and i just puked at 5 LOL...i actually feel pretty good though, weird but not bad..thanks for the luck, im gonna need it LOL
how much is this bitch getting paid by big Pharma to promote another useless synthetic drug, I took this shit all but ruined my brain....still recovering
This medicine is horrible please research it before you consider taking it the withdrawal symptoms can ruin your life, it's possible the brain zaps will never stop, i've started a blog about my withdrawal experience if anyone would like to read it go to...
Damm how fucked up are you people. my doctor gave me 30mg ofcymbalta.i havnt took it causeim alil scared withshit that misses with my head.pluse im not that missedup. i just feel nerves it has nothing todo with my brain. is there anything for nervesness. "help please"
Works wonderful for nerve pain. Currently taking 90mg for Charcot-Marie-Tooth. Due to CMT, I was barely able to walk, the pain being so immense. Now I can at least walk and do a normal work shift. I don't have any problems with depression and haven't seen any changes with my mood. Only side-effect I have noticed is little less sex drive,
I was taken off this drug by my GP (not the GP that originally put me on it) I had 2 trips to the emergency department after becoming violently ill with massive migraine and vomiting. I was having horrific nightmares and my brain just never seemed to rest or sleep. I have been sleeping like a baby since coming off this poison and have started feeling so much better. I hardly get a headache now and people are commenting on how well I look.
this shit helps slightly with my social anxiety...shit i wish i could find somethin that worked good.. maybe its becuz of this ive gained 30 lbs this summer..shit...still depressed..tired...bored....exhausted...no motivation whatso ever..help..im only 17...shit
Hello to all of you out there. I have been on this for now three years. I was on 60mg. As randomthoughts31 said above said it is all true horrific effects manly head zaps and pain when you miss a day . The cost of this drug is high. If you run out of cash $ 130.00 per month or you med is not called in THE PAIN OF MISSING JUST 2 DAYS is like what I would this feels like coming off coka. I have stop cold last week. Friends Cymbalta is no joke
Is like mini sharp taps to the back of your neck. It would be someone turning you brain off / on very fast with a tap with a stick on your head. It happen too fast for fully pass out. Just a very fast shock wave to the brain.
my friend was taking this medication/drug, one day, almost 2 weeks after having his daily dose doubled he decided to go on a "sex spree" and ended up institutionalized after raping 3 people including 2 kids
I've just increased from 30mg to 60mg and it really works for me. I have not seen any side effect on me and for me, this is made this medicine perfect.
I was prescribed Cymbalta along with another antidepressent. I was taking pain relief for to ease headaches I started suffering but they got worse. They were debilitating to the point where I was vomiting and the end result was a trip to hospital and put on an IV drip to rehydrate me.
I have since changed GP's and am now coming off Cymbalta. This drug seems to be causing my migraines plus taking certain pain medication was worsening my condition. I hope this may help somebody out there.
Been on every drug out there.... you know the drill. Tried cymbalta... oh my god. Might as well have been taking rat poison, that's how it felt. Please be careful.
Just remember: 1) Antidepressants DO kill people. There's no disputing that. and
I just started taking it last night. I went to see the Dr. for stress due to my heavy work schedule. Iam calling the Dr. now and saying "I don't think so". Thank you all for the warning.
Well it works great while you are on it, but I suggest you research cymbalta withdrawal PRIOR to taking the medication. These symptoms are severe and very real!!!
I have been suffering from severe anxiety for 2 years and I just started taking Cymbalta and I feel great! I still have a little bit of anxiety but I'm not depressed at all. Before I was trippin out all the time feeling like I'm going to have a heart attack. Listening to others bad mouth it makes me worry, But then again every one is different.
@XeenWoozy :O yes it is, cannabis contains thc which is a sedative/psychedelic/euphoriant which makes you just feel happy and giggle the day away, and at the same time contains cbd, a tranquilizer, which stabilizes mood and calms you down. it's the best "natural way". well that or coca leaf. well anyway just food for thought, bro:)
I just saw the commercial for Cymbatla. Like 4/5 of the commercial was explaining the side effects, then the speaker ends her long list by saying, "ask your doctor about Cymbalta", and I'm thinking, "What the fuck?! Why don't I just drink Clorox?!?" LOL
nothing!they tell people with everyday stress and everyday routine and turn them into zombies.noone can speak about mental illness unless something really severe had happened!
It is very dangerous to quit a medication like Cymbalta cold turkey without gradually going off. No wonder why you feel even more sick. But I hope things are better.
CYMBALTA IS THE MOST DANGEROUS ANTIDEPRESSANT I'VE BEEN ON!!!!!!!! Based on my own personal experience, antidepressants are a commercialist, evil scam perpetrated by large drug companies. The companies are no better than crack dealers because they're preying upon vulnerable people by feeding them addicting substances that they hope people will be taking for life. Search "truth about antidepressants", and if you want to know the personal experiences i speak of read my comments to that video.
IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR PEOPLE WITH MANIC-DEPRESSIAN HISTORY.
My wife has been prescribed Cymbalta. She has been manic, but was stable since >10 Years. Les than 3 weeks after been taken Cymbalta, she suffered from severe mania (psychose) and had to be tsken to hospital with the ambulance. She still hospialised and not yet improving. We were a happy family, after having 11 years without any problem. The whole family goes trough the hell now, thanks Cymbalta.
Well, I took this drug (Cymbalta) and mmm... some effects include an incredible fluid very fast memories and twisted my mind...mixed this memories... also the most severe headache that i remember but i was so very happy just like in marihuana..and finally my thing .... he had turned in a lazy in this time but now he is resurrected jejej
I took it for a few weeks, and exactly like you said, it twisted my mind, made my thoughts very dizzy and gave me a thirst headache all the time. It also felt like my blood pressure was high and my head was about to pop like a balloon. This made me more depressed and did nothing to dispel the fact that life sucks and the world is a sad place- it just let me float above the darkness like a balloon. No good. I'm sad for very good reasons- not BECAUSE my brain is sad, but because my thoughts are.
That's okay sex is really over rated and just an animalistic instinct. As far as sleep goes well I am not doing that much now so what is the big deal.
I used to take Paxil and at one time Prozac. The biggest problem was of course my sex drive was zero. How do some of you combat this problem? Viagra? Do lower MG doses lessen the decreased sex drive?
The trick is to see if you can lower the dose to still acheive the needed therapeutic effect while reducing potential side effects. In other words, yes lowering the dosage could reduce side effects.
I have been treated for depression for 3 years. I have tried to use prozac & effexor. I have now been useing only Cymbalta for the last two years. So far, I have felt much better and have not experienced any side effects. I would recommend asking your doctor if it is right for you, if you are being treated for depression.
Well I just started taking it today, (like I just took my first pill 20 minutes ago) I've been on effexor before which I understand is simmilar to this, so I'm hoping I know what to expect.
Hi. I also have been on effexor and have just taken my first cumbalta. Now that it has been two weeks for you, how are you finding it? How many mg a day are you taking?
well I found at first it was excellent, I was very euphoric and happy.. but then the morning after I took it, in fact the entire day after I took it, I felt absolutley horrible, like my body had been through a meat grinder, so I ended up stopping it there.
I suspect had I continued to take it my body would have adjusted, it's basically the same as Effexor except you can have smaller doses of duloxetine with the same effect as large doses of effexor.
"is believed to work"?! what so you prescribe this drug without even knowing what it does?
"corrects an existing chemical imbalance"? as far as im aaware there is no scientific evidence whatsoever to link depresssion and anxiety with a chemical imbalance in the brain.
well as with most medications (and i've been on a lot of them so I know) some people can almost die on something that works absolutley fine for someone else. you gotta shop around.
I took this medication 5 hours ago for the first time and I feel fucking awesome!! Didn't expect that at all.
Cymbalta is an evil drug in my opinion. If you plan on taking it, prepare for withdrawal symptoms either while taking it, or while trying to get off of it. It is insane. The head shocks are neuroepileptiform - similar to seizures. There are dozens and dozens of harmful, horrific effects -and the suicide rate while trying to taper off the drug is increasing. If you want head zaps, memory loss, headaches, itching, exhaustion, excessive sleeping and pain - take this drug. Otherwise, stay away!
i take it, ive been fortunate enough but i will say if u dont take it everyday, that withdrawal is no joke, it feels like u just wanna fuckin kill yourself
Only been on it for a few days and it seems to be working so far, although I have some mild gastrointestinal issues; I tried a couple SSRIs in the past and they did nothing for me
I think the people here have to keep in mind that everyone is different; what works for you might not work for someone else and vise versa

@DeusUniversa10 Hi there, I also take Cymbalta & Lyrica. Cymbalta in the first week is a little scary due to the side effects and how it makes you feel: which will make you sick at your stomach, decrease eating habits, and severe mood swings and makes you feel loopy. I reccomend giving the Cymbalta 3 weeks for your body to get used to it, for it definetly helps with severe depression and makes you feel better mentally. I hope this helps, take care

Paxil was a complete disaster for me. i had brain zaps and everything... so before saying THIS drug is HORRIBLE do not take it.. remember medications do effect everyone differently.. what works for me may not work for you and the other way around..

DON"T TAKE THIS DRUG, IT IS DANGEROUS! I took one dose, went to hell and back. NEVER AGAIN! The brainzaps, oh my God. Why don't they tell people the TRUTH about the REAL side effects? Bastards. The institutions that allow this drug to come on the market, including the Govs? DOWN WITH THEM. They should all try it before approving it!!!! I am putting a complaint against the doc who prescibed this thing to me. People have committed suicide on this drug and THIS is the truth. The system is corrupt.

Don't judge ANY medication within the first few days. It's normal, your body has to adjust to the medication. Cymbalta is working great for me, and NO I'm not trying to 'advertise' it .... If after a couple weeks you still have nausea, you might want to reconsider though. Oh, and when you get bumped up to 60mg expect a little dizziness the first couple days you take it, it's a little intense but after 4 weeks you just might feel like a new person.....I'm a former alcoholic and this is my cure.

This video is ridiculous. A pharmacist should know better than to use the "correct a chemical imbalance" explanation, and she CERTAINLY should know better than to call NE and 5HTP "feel good" hormones (hormones?? in the brain, they are neurotransmitters!!). Antidepressants work not because they release "feel good" chemicals, but rather through various downstream changes in the brain that result weeks later, especially the growth of new brain cells and increased plasticity. What a moron...

This stuff is poison. Side effects are deadly. My relative never voiced suicidal thoughts unless on psychotropic drugs. The last one prescribed was Cymbalta where the dr. failed to inform us about what a black box warning was. My relative is dead due to Cymbalta. The tradeoff is NOT worth it. There are other less toxic remedies to pain management. Besides the relative started out with a back ache........DANGER!

Basically we're not exactly sure how SSRIs or SNRIs work... most of the time they elevate mood, but every once in a while it will bring mood lower. It happens more commonly in adolescents because their brain chemistry is changing so rapidly.
This actually happened to me when I initially took Zoloft. I'm on Cymbalta now and I feel like a different happier person.
For liability reasons drug companies have to give you that warning despite the fact that it happens rarely, like <1%.

You're welcome! I was a bit scared when I started because of all the negativity on the internet around this medicine, but then again people are more likely to complain when they are unsatisfied than share good results.
I had the nausea too, never actually puked but did feel somewhat dizzy and had an achy stomach for a while. I guess the side effects vary a lot, but this is considered normal especially during the first few days,

Yes, all of them are gone now, except a bit of insomnia every now and then. I can't always sleep well... for the rest, I can't say I experience any negative effects anymore.

bobdacreepable 2 years ago
To be honest, I am very satisfied with the results. Insomnia is really the only side effect I get from this, but I am willing to put up with that in some way. I was dealing with severe Panic Disorder for over a year and my complaints are gone since I started Cymbalta. The first two weeks were different though, you really have to get through those. I was tired all the time, had no desire to eat anything and I was yawning all day... but now all of that is gone and I feel better than ever. Truly.
ashers303 2 years ago
Oh and I was told this is one of the mildest anti depressants. Since I am quite young the psychiatrist recommended this. I'm on 60mg btw. If they prescribed 30mgs in your case, I am sure that is what fits in your case of BiPolar disorder. Every case is different of course, and so are everyone's experiences. You really have to see for yourself. There are many positive and many negative reactions... it varies from person to person I guess, but don't let that scare you off. I am doing great.

CYMBALTA IS THE MOST DANGEROUS ANTIDEPRESSANT I'VE BEEN ON!!!!!!!! Based on my own personal experience, antidepressants are a commercialist, evil scam perpetrated by large drug companies. The companies are no better than crack dealers because they're preying upon vulnerable people by feeding them addicting substances that they hope people will be taking for life. Search "truth about antidepressants", and if you want to know the personal experiences i speak of read my comments to that video.

So far, I have felt much better and have not experienced any side effects. I would recommend asking your doctor if it is right for you, if you are being treated for depression.

Well I just started taking it today, (like I just took my first pill 20 minutes ago) I've been on effexor before which I understand is simmilar to this, so I'm hoping I know what to expect.

Hi. I also have been on effexor and have just taken my first cumbalta. Now that it has been two weeks for you, how are you finding it? How many mg a day are you taking?

well I found at first it was excellent, I was very euphoric and happy.. but then the morning after I took it, in fact the entire day after I took it, I felt absolutley horrible, like my body had been through a meat grinder, so I ended up stopping it there.
I suspect had I continued to take it my body would have adjusted, it's basically the same as Effexor except you can have smaller doses of duloxetine with the same effect as large doses of effexor.

oh and took 60mg. I was supposed to take 60mg daily as well as mirtazipine and seroquel on top of it.

I just started this stuff a week ago.
I'm now thinking of stopping before I get ajusted to it.

"is believed to work"?! what so you prescribe this drug without even knowing what it does?
"corrects an existing chemical imbalance"? as far as im aaware there is no scientific evidence whatsoever to link depresssion and anxiety with a chemical imbalance in the brain.

well as with most medications (and i've been on a lot of them so I know) some people can almost die on something that works absolutley fine for someone else. you gotta shop around.
I took this medication 5 hours ago for the first time and I feel fucking awesome!! Didn't expect that at all.

Cymbalta is an evil drug in my opinion. If you plan on taking it, prepare for withdrawal symptoms either while taking it, or while trying to get off of it. It is insane. The head shocks are neuroepileptiform - similar to seizures. There are dozens and dozens of harmful, horrific effects -and the suicide rate while trying to taper off the drug is increasing. If you want head zaps, memory loss, headaches, itching, exhaustion, excessive sleeping and pain - take this drug. Otherwise, stay away!
