cymbalta and vicodin

It is very difficult to wean off and has left some with permanent side effects. Good luck. I took vicodin with cymbalta and now I only take vicodin. It took me months of agony to get off Cymbalta. Please do the research.

I have chronic back and leg pain due to scar tissue from disk surgery at L5-S1 I and been taking vicodin since 2000 and it helps a lot but I have been trying to find something else that will help that is non narcotic so I can get of the vics. My Dr prescribed Cymbalta and I noticed a significant difference in just a few days, however it does have side effects and at least for me made having an orgasm almost impossible or it took a long time to get there.

I stopped using Elavil and Tramadol (was only on it for a month) Been on vicodin 5 months and the Dr now put me on cymbalta and lorazepam but will not refill vicodin. I was only taking about 3-4 pills a day but dont I need to wein off and will I have withdrawls?? And replacing the vicodin with these other drugs cant be a good thing, can it?? Need some advice quickly if possible.

I have a 4 slipped disc in my neck and the intraferon makes them hurt worse than before my doctor says they are fine I only try to take them after the shots when it is the worst but GP and GI doctor said Vicodin is fine and my script is for 750mg I dont take any antidepressants though and yes Cymbalta is hard on the liver so is caffine, salt, so on.

I was on percocet lyrica and cymbalta. Once the nerve damage got better I stopped the lyrica and cymbalta. After going back to work after surgery, I was afraid of taking percocet (im a teacher) so the dr gave me tramadol. 2 weeks ago I had steroidal injections in my pelvis and asked for something stronger because the tramadol wasnt working. I only take the vicodin at night, but it doesnt get rid of the pain.

progressively stop medications, especially lamictal and topamax, verapamil and vicodin.

s pretty effective. It makes me drowsy, though. I am bound and determined NOT to abuse the Vicodin, and am doing pretty well. My DR. explained to me that the more Vicodin you take, your body will make blockers to keep it from working, which is why people start abusing it, and they tell us not to take it for more than 4 or 5 days straight. I am feeling pretty kooky because the Nortrip & Relefan make me really drowsy, and I don't like this feeling. Keep me in your thoughts, all.

I take Lyrica and Cymbalta and they help with the neuropathic pain associated with the Fibro and Diabectic nerve pain. The Cymbalta helps with a little pain. Side effects for me? I'm dizzy and sleepy in the daytime, but I take other things like Vicodin 750, Klonopin, Flexeril and Ambien, and Paxil. I gained weight with the Diabetes, so I can't tell. But I loved carbs before all of this.

I guess the next question I would have would be is there any other meds your taking and how much and how long have you been taking the vicodin?

Like worried, I'm not sure where you are in recovery. I had the exact same thing happen to me last week. I was prescribed Celexa (which I will NEVER take again). I am also prone to migraines, so not sure if it was from the Celexa or just a random migraine. Anyway, I am a little over 5 weeks clean. I went to ER and got 4 shots(Decadron, Stadol, Phenergran and Reglan.) They also sent me home with a vicodin 4 pack(which I didn't need and had my husband dispose of).

Will medical marijuana help me with early stages of scolosis, fibromalgia and chronic lower back pain that cymbalta and 20 mg of vicodin has not helped for the past 2 and 1/2 years? I also have chronic athritis in both hands.

I am having a c section on the 4th of Jan and got addicted to vicodin after falling down the stairs. I've been abusing them for my last two trimesters and am worried about my son. All of my tests are normal, he is actually above in the weight area, but i'm worried about the drs and my fiancee finding out and my son going through withdrawl. I'm scared to talk to my doctor because I don't want my son taken away from me.

i went to my doctor he said that it has to get out of my head and it may take a while, he prescribed cymbalta and said it would quicken the process but every time i have taken it i would vomit and get headaches. i have no idea why it still effecting me i never did any again in 8 months i do a lot of physical activity and drink loads of water. does anyone know of anything that i can take or help fix my body thank you or am i ******?

FIRST IT WAS PHEN PHEN THEN IT WAS PHENTERAMINE AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST VICODIN VICODIN AND MORE VICADIN WITH AN ADDERALL CHASER. I REFUSE TO GO BACK TO THOSE METHODS BUT I ALSO REFUSE TO GAIN ANYMORE. I AM FAR FROM BEING A SUPERMODEL BUT AT 40 I DON'T LOOK SO BAD, AND I WANT TO KEEP IT THAT WAY. ANYWAY THANKS FOR LISTENING AND THE HELP!

All I can say is that it makes it bearable but the pain is still there. I dont take Ativan but I have taken, and quit, Cymbalta\Paxil\EffexorCR\Strattera\Lyrica\Prozac. The side effects did not affect me too much but eventually I get to a point where I get tired of taking drugs that are not helping the problem (chest pain). So I think I can live without them. A bit of advice, withdrawl slowly, the withdrawl symtoms can be horrific.

I am a recovering addicted of Vicodin, im 8 days clean. I started my Cymbalta today. I was just wondering If anyone is on it or has used it and has it worked? Depression comes bad with detoxing, and I just would like to know more about it. I researched it and found out a lot, but I would like to know from others point of view, like maybe how long it takes to kick in? they say about 1-4 weeks, ehh i dunno bc i just weened myself off paxil so maybe it will act quicker?? any answers anyone?

I was currently on Oxycodone for 3 montsh post and pre surgical period and now that I am trying to stop them I am in severe depression. I am and have been on Cymbalta and from what I am reading this may or moay not help but it definately isn't doing the trick for me. Any advice???

I have chronic pain and fibromyalgia and have seen a number of different specialists and tried lyrica, cymbalta and lots of different medications before my pain management doctor put me on Percocet. It is the only thing that helps me function everyday. I am now pregnant. My pain management doctor refused to continue to prescribe it to me even though I have been on it for almost 2 years now. She told me to take tylenol which doesn't come close to helping with the pain.

I'm on Cymbalta for moodswings and fibro. Someone posted that they were on Cymbalta and Lamactil and it worked well. Cant find the post. Anyone taking this combination and does it work.

I made a typo in my original post. I AM currently taking Cymbalta and Xanax for the ancy legs and arms. If anyone has any ideas please share them. This isnt just at night but it goes on all day. I am feeling desperate because I feel like this is hurting my life right now more than the 20 vicodin es I was taking a day.

I was put on cymbalta for depression and nerve pain ( RSD ). I hate taking new medicines I know nothing about. I am young and I am afraid of it. I start off taking 30 mgs for a week than increase to 60 than I will get up to 120 at some point. Could someone please tell me something about this drug? Is it safe? Thanks Susan...

I want to get some basic information that is relevant to most everyone and not specific to a personal situation. I have been a vicodin addict for many years on and off and have now been taking tramadol 400mg daily for about 4 months with an occasional bought of a week or so of 50-80 mgs of vicodin daily. I would like to know how bad withdrawal will be at this level when compared to withdrawal coming off of 200-300 mg of vicodin which I have done in the past.

So, here I am - I will take the Cymbalta and see how it goes. And I will see my specialist on Tuesday and be as honest with him as I was with the GP today. I know he'll push for me to go to the pain management clinic - and I will tell him my fears about it, but am really hoping the treatment we decide on (Remicade or Humira) does the trick, and I won't need it.

I saw her toady and she has my list of meds. She put me on TRAMADOL for intense back pain (as needed), Cymbalta for the pain management and anxiety, and she knows I'm currently on 10mg Adderall for ADHD. Should I be worried? I'm not up for landing in the ER...

I dont really know much about wellbutrin but i will tell u that before I got off the vicoden my dr put me on cymbalta and its been great for me and is supposed to work well for pain too.
