I was on Cymbalta five years ago then just stopped taking it as i thought i was fine. Up until now, i've been on an emotional rollercoaster, moody, agressive, have a 13yr old daughter which i've been treating very badly at times (more often than not) and she is the main reason why i sought help (as her mother). I haven't taken the first pill yet, wanted to get some point of views...i need to get out of this rut & start being a better mother...i also can't afford to gain wait...so...?

My doctor don't believe that it's the lexamil that causes my stomach problem, but I am hundred percent sure it is, as I stopped using it again and the problem just stopped, but when I drank one lexamil my stomach was burning again, nausea, weird uncomfortable bloated feeling was back. Please tell me is anyone experiencing this problem.

Hi Natasha
Each one of our bodies is diffrent you body will tell you what work for you or not. You doctor do not life in you body so he can not say that the leximal can not give you stumic problems. I had lots of problems with lexamil. It made me almost crazy. You doctor have do give you something that work for you. I am not using anything at this stage, because all the stuff the docters gave me let me feel worce. I can better handel it without the medication. But do not leave leximal at once raed on the pamplit it will tell you over how a long peroid you should stop it.

I have been on Lexamil 10mg a day for the past 18 months. To me it seems that I have made a huge improvement. I can cope with all symptoms I experience, like the low libido, weight gain and the muscle contractions while I sleep - but my partner cant. My doc said he doesnt suggest I go off my medication, but that I need to halve my dosage for a month before stopping. I am worried that my mood swings and anxiety will come back... Will it be a huge set back if I stop?

Yes, there will be side effects. You need to ween yourself from the pills. Reduce your intake by half for a few days before you stop. You need to consult your doctor on this.

i have been on it for 3months now and it helped, but i'm starting to really think it's not good for me. I had very bad deprssion friday, because i forgot to took my pill. So am i going to have to be on lexamil for the rest of my life? Will i ever be normal again if i stopped using it? I'm really scared of that, because i don't want to use it for the rest of my life...

Look jolet, depression is not something to be ashamed of you can't help feeling down without your pills. The important thing is that it makes you feel better. I am now drinking mine again but with a yoghurt every day to protect my stomach. I am gaining weight but what the hell I need a little excercise anyway, and if I have to drink these pills for the rest of my life so be it. The stuff keeps me normal and that's all that matters.
