Cymbalta

Give me some feedback on Cymbalta from personal experiences. I am suppose to start it tomorrow and now I am reading all these awful stories about it I am afraid to start it.

My husband took Cymbalta for a short time when he was dealing with pain after his first knee surgery. The doctor felt it would be good for him, because we were going through a tough period in life. He felt that it would be a good med for dual purposes. I also have a very good friend that has been on it for a few years, she does great with it.

Now, the down side, my husband had severe withdrawals when he tapered off. Headaches, nausea, body aches and pains. Just a really horrible experience for him.

Just remember every person is different and will have different reactions to the meds. Pay attention to your anxiety levels and how you feel.

You won't know until you try. The hard part is trying to find the right medication that works for your body.

I took it for a long time. I was afraid it was causing my sweating and weight gain. Worst mistake I ever made. I’m much worse now. The meds I was on were causing it. Still trying to figure out what and weaning off meds etc. A huge mess. I’m not sure what side effects were what but I still have them and they are worse. It was helping.
