Help with 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!!

Hey there. Hope you're starting to feel a little better by now. Am wondering whether or not the meds have started to do their job for you? It generally takes up to 8-12 weeks to really feel any benefits.

Hi! I am on week 4 and am feeling a little better. I notice that I am moody and tired but that could be the weather or the hormone pills I'm taking (I live in bitterly cold and depressing Chicago). I still have my moments of dread and nervousness but not as much as before. I'm hoping that I will improve even more within the next few weeks.

Hi Sandii. Yeah the weather can impact on a person's mood. I don't like overcast days so I really try to talk myself out of a mood drop. It actually works sometimes.

Give your tablets another month then speak with your Dr. I also took a low dose of mirtazipine. I found it very helpful for mood and sleep but problematical with weight gain so I stopped unfortunately.

I sincerely wish you well. Please do keep posting and let us know how you are.

Bless.
