talk to me about cymbalta please

[sandii100]

Hi there. Today is day 6 for me on 30mg cymbalta. In two days I will increase my dosage to 60mg. I'm feeling anxious, hot/cold light headaches and fatigue. Someone please tell me that these symptoms go away and it's still early for the medicine to actually be working. I NEED THIS TO WORK!!

I have been on cymbalta for several months and have not experienced these symptoms. However I have had symptoms on other medicines that seemed to decrease with time. I would still contact your doctor about the side effects so he/she knows and can maybe make some adjustments. There are several antidepressants out there so if cymbalta doesn't work for you there are other options . Antidepressenants often take many weeks to get into your system and start working. For the anxiety you may want to talk to your doctor about getting a fast acting medication (like xanax) while you are waiting for the cymbalta to take effect. Also, if you haven't yet, look into supplementing medication with other strategies to manage the anxiety/depression, like talk therapy, meditation, etc.
