Anyone tried Cymbalta?
| Thu, 08-31-2006 - 9:33am |
My doctor has switched me to Cymbalta which I have never tried and know nothing about. Switching meds is always so scary. Anyone know anything about it or tried it?
Thanks In Advance!!!

I have been on Cymbalta for 2 months. So far so good. I have even lost weight on it, bonus!! Side effects for me included dry mouth and a little jitteriness.
I like this med.
Hope this helps

Laura, I have heard great things about Cymbalta.

Hi Eileen!

I was prescribed 20 MG of Cymbalta for both. I think I suffer more with anxiety though.
I have to tell that I really like that I have lost weight on this med. I gained so much on Paxil. I am not losing rapidly just the lbs I gained on the Paxil. I am sure if I go back to the gym I can finally lose the 10 extra that I want.
My SIL just started and she hasn't decided if she likes it. She thinks it is giving her headaches. But she is on 60mgs and I am on 20mgs. I think the lower dose works fine for me. At one time I was on 150mg of Effexor XR. I went off because I started feeling depressed on it. Go figure.
Hope this helps.

Thank-you for sharing!

If it doesn't bother you to read info about the cymbalta, here is a link:
There have been some posts over on the antidepressant meds board, too.

Thanks everyone for your comments! I'll let you know. It is too early to tell for me still. I will let you know in a couple of weeks though!
Thanks again!

I am on Cymbalta and it is working but I think I am also so excited to finally be losing weight, that I am putting that first. I do feel better but I still get anxious.
Let me know how you're doing on it.
