Been taking
Cymbalta
since diagnosis but felt no improvement with pain and gained a lot of weight. Have been weaning off this drug for the past 2 years, gone from 120 mg to 11.5.

Medication change awful! Help!!!
I have just weaned myself off of Nortriptyline and started taking
Cymbalta
30mg in the morning with breakfast and the effects are awful. It upset my tummy and wiped me out (not in a good way) 😞 I'm so zoned out I can't even do basic things like prepare food.

I stopped going to therapy about a year ago but I continue to take
Cymbalta
for my anxiety and depression associated with the disorder. My DID stems from a long history of abuse, abandonment, and Substance abuse in my early childhood.

It's been a journey
Cymbalta
? Makes me bitchy. Elavil? Made me gain 15 lbs which makes pain worse. Gabapentin? Makes me stupid and forgetful. Don't need more of that. NSAIDS? Kill my stomach. Trying a new one, Arthrotec. Anyone have luck with it? Opioids? They work and I can tolerate but no one prescribes it anymore.

Changed to Cymbalta /Duloxetine for Fibromyalgia
My post this time is about
Cymbalta
/Duloxetine. I had been taking Fluoxetine on and off ( more often on) for the last 20 years. I have now been changed to Duloxetine on the advice of the Pain Management Consultant I met with last week regarding how to cope with Fybromyalgia.

Cymbalta
Just stated taking
cymbalta
(20mg) 2 days ago and have been light headed and my pupils are constantly dialated. Think it may be serotonin syndrome. Anyone with knowledge on this? Should I stop taking it?

Leflunomide & premature menopause
I am also taking
Cymbalta
for fibro so I'm unsure if this is caused by the medications or not. I am sterilized and definitely not pregnant either. I would like to know if anyone else is experiencing something similar to me please. Thanks Aisha

The Vanishing Diagnosis - UCTD?
PCP had thought it might be worth trying Duloxetine (
Cymbalta
) to treat what she thought might be fibromyalgia (although I did not have all the tender points required for the diagnosis), but that was ineffective, and only added to my insomnia!

Latest rheumie visit left me a bit confused
So, in concert with my GP I am now on a new antidepressant
cymbalta
(had been on Prozac for 25 years), I have started counseling twice a week and am determined not to sway from taper, 1 mg every 2-4 weeks. I'm struggling not to think this is just all in my head.

Needing help
I'm on
Cymbalta
, Xanax, Wellbutrin and Clonopin. I feel like I am taking nothing. I can't stand this feeling of paralyzation every day and every night. I feel as tho I'm at my breaking point.

Cymbalta and sweating
Hello, I have been taking
cymbalta
for just over 5 years for depression and Chronic pain. I'm not sure if this is causing my increased sweating but every summer I am getting worse! Australian summers are very hot but before my accident I was never a sweaty person.

Low wbc with Spleenomegally and aih, pbc along with scleroderma and Lupus
For the itching my doc recommends I take
Cymbalta
with Urso and Cholestyramine powder together and it works pretty well. The powder u need to take it 1 hour before meds or 4 hours after meds. I am currently on the liver transplant list.
