It was working ok, still had some depression but it was better than what I am going thru now. 120,000 sites under "Cymbalta stored in fat cells". I decided what I really wanted was off any antidepressants, and armed with very little information, decided to go off cold turkey. There is no one around that seems to want to work with me on this. I'm fighting staying awake every day no matter how much sleep I get at night. She would rather see me using Cymbalta than a narcotic once in a while Fluoxetine and Violent Death in Maryland: violent methods in fluoxetine suicides.

  ...I started Cymbalta 30mg and took it for 14 days, then went upto 60mg for 4 days before I started looking into why I felt so bad on this drug.

  ...Cymbalta was absolutely the best drug to treat my depression. I'm also able to get to sleep a lot easier. I don't have any nightmares, no difference in sweating (going through menepause anyway) I previously took efexor and hated coming off of that drug, it was the worse. AND get this - while I was on Cymbalta I was Dx as being pre-diabetic. I was started on Cymbalta for both depression and back pain which comes from an old back injury (broken back that I got from my ex husband.

Was mentioning this drug during an unrelated meeting the other day and one of the people in attendance happened to be a nurse for a local pharmaceutical company. I have taken Effexor in the past and know all about the brain zaps. I feel great! Wellbutrin worked for me for a while, then quit. Some of them kept my depression from becoming severe, but I still felt like I was "flying at a low altitude". I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has posted on this site.

i kno that it works different for everybody.

but I feel better than I did for a long time.

  ...You would think if the FDA clears Cymbalta as the cause of death, they would disclose why or what the reason was. Do you think that the withdrawl from this drug is going to be worse that living through the last 22 months of my life. It would last a short while and then it would go away. This did not help me! My condition deteriorated rapidly, at which point my doctor wanted to increase the dosage further. I have tried several different techniques to solve this problem which include taking the medication with food, taking tums before and after taking the medication and taking a stool softner before bed. I did not NOT want to be on 60 mg cause this drug is very strong. I read this site and was having seconds thoughts due to all the horrible comments. The biggest side effect was the farting. " I have been to doctor after doctor, and have had so many tests run it's been insane. One can only assume it was the Cymbalta at the 60 mg dose that did it.

Comment #56: buy cymbalta no prescription

  ...I HAVE BEEN ON CYMBALTA FOR 10 MONTHS, AFTER MY OLDEST SON, WENT TO CAMP (I AM VERY PROTECTIVE) AND WELL I THOUGHT THAT SOMETHING WAS SERIOUSLY WRONG. I would really be interested to know if anyone else has experienced the orgasm side effect. To my surprise it was no longer the wonder drug I had thought it was. Wow, I finally understand why I am feeling so horrible. I am feeling hopeful - I know that I still have my depression issues to deal with but I'm going to find another to get through that - never going back to any type of drug that messes with my brain. She has an appt to see the doctor (who only wants to prescribe her more) on Tues.

Anyways, thank you all, and may GOD be with us.

Withdrawal wasn't too bad, I cut down slowly.

  ...I am embarrassed to say that I ended up on Cymbalta, Adderol (which I discovered is also called amphetemine! DUH!) and sleeping pills. I feel disoriented, I get electrical shocks in my head, and feel sea-sick, and very irritable. Student's Cymbalta (Yentreve, duloxetine) suicide cries out to FDA for drug warnings The first three or four days on CYmbalta, and I swear to god, I felt the exact same feeling that you get just before an ecstacy dose comes on - butterflies in the stomach, an excited like feeling. It is important that you maintain a level blood sugar.

Finally started breaking up the pills to 15mg.

  ...Cymbalta withdrawal Shaking - Uncontrolled quivering and trembling as if one is cold and chilled. My (old) doctor thought that it was because the dose was too high for a first go at it and tried to talk me into taking it in microdoses until I adapted to it. I took Prozac for 6 years and had no problems but it just didn't work anymore. If the invasion goes unchecked it can injure tissue and progress into disease.

I started Cymbalta 30 mg a week ago and upped to 60 mg today and am feeling quite lethargic. I am taking Cymbalta at 120 mg/day. Finally I did my own research on the internet, found out Prozac can help with withdrawal symptoms from SSRIs because it has a long half-life, unlike Paxil which has a short half-life. I wanted to write Eli Lilly a thank you letter when I first started taking it. Cymbalta is relatively new and it takes anywhere from 10-30 years for the true effects to come to light.

I was 21 years old and happy except for the neck pain I'd had from a 5 year old car wreck.

  ...Cymbalta withdrawal Dry Mouth - The usual amount to moisture in the mouth is noticeably less.

Cymbalta withdrawal Somnolence - Feeling sleepy all the time or having a condition of semi-consciousness.

, then I'll just drop to zero and see how it goes.

I do agree with those who have tried to quit.

  ...I was tired and miserable. Cymbalta replaced Nurontin due to nite leg pain and chronic back pain,its wonderful. When you do need to move about, hold something out in front of you to stare directly at and use your peripheral vision to navigate your way to the bathroom, I have a feeling that this will be the most visited site in your home when you go off of Cymbalta.

I too have battled depression for over 15 years.

The more I 'exsisted' the more depressed I felt.

  ...heart symptoms, palpitations, vascular rash on extremities, etc.

Very upset because I really do like the drug.

  ...I'll blame it on more poor thinking if I have to later, but I have gone cold turkey off the cymbalta. I was so glad to read other comments and experiences, because I no longer felt I was simply crazy. Then again, I know someone that takes it and seems fine, so who knows I was on Cymbalta for about a year. sometimes to the point were you just don't care if your house work gets done or not. A car door would close outside and I would freak out. My muscles were twitching and I felt irregular tingling throughout my body. the anxiety has gotten worse and feel more depressed and disconected,like in a daze. Blood pressure is back to normal, cut down on the inderal to 20 mg a day.

Mine is gone, and it was difficult to accept.

I stayed on 30 mg and never increased the dosage.

  ...I went to see my Psychiatrist on Monday,Sept 17th. I TOOK IT FOR A YEAR AND IT QUIT WORKING AND I COULD NOT SLEEP. My 79 year old mother was becoming forgetful and was experiencing difficult life changes and was diagnosed as depressed. I question whether pharmaceutical intgervention was necessary from the beginning, the drug of choice by my highly respected physician; and having seen what other people are going through; the very frightening grip of the pharmacuetical companies on the insurance and medical communities, ever vigilent to increase profits, create new consumers. I hope you will all be able to come out of this ok. She has bouts where she sweats, nightmares, major anxiety attacks, constipation, major depression, and an overall feeling of despair. She looks like she's on opiates all the time! Ridiculous drug. ...

  ...If anyone is already taking Topamax (topiramate) and is thinking of taking Cymbalta as well, proceed with extreme caution and read the following. I went to the ER yesterday I told them how I was feeling which my symtoms include: really bad headache, sharp pains in different parts of my brain, confusion, dizzyness, nausa, loss of time conception (for example I was in the ER for about 5 hours, I swore I was only there for an hour) disoriented, racing heart, really tired but cant sleep, diarehha, HUGE puples, When I close my eyes and lay down I feel weird sensations through out my body and just feel really abnormal. After reading several posts/websites, I am worried about the effectiveness wearing off and the subsequent withdrawal symptoms if I have to come off of it. I was taking the lowest dose (30mg) so cut back to every other day. Glad to see I'm not crazy as my husband saysother people are going through this nightmare too. I just wanted to share my story so that people who are looking at a medicine will know that everyone is different. I've weaned off and yes I've had dizziness, and recently I have noticed feeling pretty tired. My prescription just ran out today 2/7/07 and it'll be about a week before my mail prescription refill will arrive. I just hope that only being on it for three weeks will make it easier to ween myself off the 40 mg that was perscribed to me. My ring is tighter and I just feel swollen. Look closely at any new reactions you displayed in the two weeks when you were on both drugs. Research suggests that these chemicals play a role in both depression and diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain (DPNP). 60mg in the morning and 60mg at night! This sounds like a lot more than most people are or were taking here!! ...
