Serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs): Medications like venlafaxine (Effexor) and duloxetine (
Cymbalta
) may be prescribed in cases where SSRIs are not effective or well-tolerated. SNRIs work by increasing the levels of both serotonin and norepinephrine in the brain. 3.

Physical Anxiety manifested in Inner Ears
When I finally found a terrific psychiatrist, my life was saved by her putting me on
Cymbalta
and Abilify. I was well!!!!! That was 2014. Then, in Jan. 2021, she took me off of the Abilify to see if I could lose some of the extreme weight I’ve gained on the 2 drugs.

The Arm Saga continues...to chemo or not to chemo
Eric's nerve damage and pain from his chemo leak over two weeks ago has been pretty severe - he's on
Cymbalta
for the nerve pain, and it's very sloooowly improving.

Small fiber polynueropathy, often misdiagnosed as FND, a personal story:
I had also been treated with pharmaceutical therapy for fibromyalgia (
cymbalta
) at the time, and I saw a drastic reduction in symptoms.

I will be well....
At my last appointment, my family doctor prescribed
Cymbalta
for my IBS. I'm thinking it is her way of putting me on an antidepressant but I did find some supporting literature for using it in IBS. Anyone tried it for IBS-D?

Cymbalta
I have used
cymbalta
for many years 60......90 and recently 120 mg...but I found them good to help with chronic pain to a degree I would think they give you an advantage to cope with chronic pain . I also found tylex helpful with pain relief.

pregabalin for peripheral neuropathy
Went from 60 to 30 mg duloxitine for a month (
cymbalta
). Having a lot of breakthrough pain, aches. My doc said go ahead and start pregabalin (lyrica) 25 am and 25 pm, and take 4 weeks to reduce
cymbalta
. Of course ( naughty me) I have been reading horror stories about pregabalin.

Elevated ALT and scared
I also take the antidepressant
Cymbalta
which can cause liver issues, I’ve been on that since back then and I’m scared that’s damaged my liver. I am going to ask my doctor to take me off of it.

Anyone have simliar symptoms when switching medications?
The plan was to taper off the
cymbalta
and increase the prozac. During this time, I felt like I was getting better to a point where I felt back to my normal self. I was taking the klonopin daily but then stopped as I didn’t feel I needed it daily.

MEDICATION!!!!
My psychiatrist mentioned that
Cymbalta
could be an option for treating the pain as well as my other issues. I am always fearful of changing medications and was just wondering if any of you had any experience with this medication for depression and anxiety as well as the treatment of pain.

iron panel - almost normal?
Plus she went off
Cymbalta
, first she had like four days without RLS in a row, but then it returned, probably because her mental state is absolutely off - she wants to cry all the time, is upset and achy😔I noticed that 4 years ago her ferritin was 114, and then RLS was not at all that bad.

Anxiety and depression
My doctor prescribed
Cymbalta
60 mg and Fluvoxamine 100mg I was taking 50mg but he up the dosage which is giving me a lot of side effects. I hate getting up in the mornings. When I was in the Navy in 1972 I lost three fingers in my right hand I would trade my hand not to suffer from this illness.

Life after meds?
I chose to discontinue
Cymbalta
last August based on the lack of evidence of its effectiveness for long term use or how it affects the aging brain. Looking back, I still experienced many bouts of severe depression even while taking it and other antidepressants.

Yikes! Fibro Flare?
Cymbalta
and Gabapentin have helped so much. Today, my feet bottoms are on fire, like neuropathy pain.Several large muscles throughout my body are really hurting. These pains can be this bad when weather is cold and rainy, but not overcast and warm like it is here in southern U.S.

Anxiety
Cymbalta
daily and 50 mg. Seroquel at bedtime. I have been on this for 2 and 1/2 weeks. I take .5 Klonopin at bedtime for sleep. How long does this take to have full effect? I do not have anxiety attacks, but feel it below the surface and am sad.

Information please on next treatment options
The pain management nurse just added
Cymbalta
also for pain. He's still mobile (limited) but uses a cane and tires easily. I'm looking for any suggestions and information. Thank you. Update-We saw the oncologist on Friday, Jan 13 when the above was discussed.
