Effects Of Cymbalta
(Newest replies first)

I started 30MG Cymbalta three weeks ago. I have major depression.
I have noticed that very quickly I felt amazingly good with all sysmtoms gone. Then the next day, back to anxiety and depression. I went to 60MG. I was like a zombie. Then I stopped for 2 days. On the 3rd day I felt great again. So I went back to 30MG. No effect. Has anyone else experiened thsi patchy in-out effect?

No medication is totally effective all the time, so there might be days you don't feel as good as others. That is totally normal.

The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, mood swings, and weight changes.

There is a chance that it might not be the best medication for you, so you should each discuss these issues with your respective doctors to see what your other options might be.

Are any of you on any other medications?

My generic Cymbalta, suddenly stopped working. I have intense sensations of forboding, my body aches, I dream crazy stuff. I get jolts through my body, like electric current. My Doctor is raising my level of generic Cymbalta. Great, just what I wanted, to be on MORE medicine.....
