cymbalta?

HI there,
Hoping everyone is doing well. My doctor just switched me from Paxil to Cymbalta. I've read about it and it says nothing about helping anxiety. I am weening off the paxil slowly, and starting the cymbalta while I'm weening off the paxil.
Anybody on Cymbalta? side effects?
Thanks a bunch!
Happy Valentines Day!
xoxo, Jolie

Hi.
I was on paxil for 5 years, then decided with my dr. to to off of it. In Decemeber I went back on it, but had some side effects because it was too high of a dosage so he put me on cymblata. I had bad side effects. Loss of appetite, no energy and diahrrea. I was a mess. Not saying this will happen to you, but it did to me. I was put back on Paxil, but a smaller dosage and doing better.
Also with the cymbalta I started my cycle a week early despite being on birth control and it lasted almost 2 weeks.
Just curious, why are you switching medications?
Let me know how it works for you .
Good Luck

I am switching because I don't feel the paxil is effective. My anxiety has been horrible, and the rumination is not stopping. I am working with a new therapist that specifically deals with anxiety issues. Maybe there is hope for me!
Thanks for writing.

There is always hope, Jolie! I know that the Antidepressant Meds board has discussed cymbalta more than this board: http://messageboards.ivillage.com/n/mb/listsf.asp?webtag=iv-bhpaxil&nav=start
I do wish you the best. Also, I am anxious to read the replies you get. I'd like to learn more about the cymbalta, as it is gaining more recognition. GL GBH's jan
