Common Questions and Answers about Cymbalta during pregnancy
cymbalta
So do I need to have my Cymbalta adjusted since I take 200 mg daily of Celebrex? I am not on the 60 mg of Cymbalta. I decided to take it for 2 reasons- 1 want my pain to go away and why not at least try it and 2 maybe it will relieve some of my depression (for which I am seeing a counselor) and I guess 3 since my husband doesn't seem to want to really try as much as in the past to have children what can it hurt I thought.
THank you for your comments.
The big one that I was told they worry about is Paxil as it is known to cause birth defects. Cymbalta is a pregnancy category C which means that although there have been no proven risks, they can't be ruled out completely. Depression or anxiety definitely still need to be treated thigh. I take a pregnancy category c mood stabilizer and have had no issues and the baby is healthy and strong (39 + 3 weeks). I would recommend not taking yourself off them until you meet with your doc.
I was taking Clonopin and Cymbalta for eight years, stopped them cold turkey in July 2014 due to pregnancy although I took klonopin as needed .25 a few times during. I had no withdrawals. After baby this last April my doctor put me on cymbalta 30 mg and klonopin as needed. Rt after the cymbalta got started I got intensely sick had major panic attacks, and manic feeling so I had to stop it.
s possible you may be asked to tapper a little either during the first trimester of pregnancy or during the late stages of the third trimester. Only your dr can determine that (it's very possible this won't even be needed).
If your dr tells you to wean off your meds completely before pregnancy then find a dr who will work with you and address your needs.
slowly withdrawing fomr Cymbalta -- had been at 60mg for a few months, and have taken another few months to get off after gaining 10 pounds and recognizing that the gain came from the pills. I am experiencing electrical shocks running through my body, shooting across my brain, in seconds, but over and over. Should i take some grains of Cymbalata to alleviate these symptoms?
Ok so I really hadent planned on having more children not only did I feel satisfied with the 2 I have but I have several back conditions I have 4 buldging discs 1 of which sits on my sciatic nerve.
I also have fibromyalgia, which causes constant pain, and am treated with Cymbalta. Could this be a problem?
Now I am on Cymbalta and have gained another 10lbs, Does nay other person have this problem? I want to get off it, any other ideas on what depression medcine to take that waon't make you gain weight..
t had any of the pre-missed period pregnancy symptoms. I took an at home pregnancy test a few days ago and it came out negative.
I'm concerned. I read that cymbalta withdrawal can result in many things including irregular menstrual cycle and spotting. Does the case of the late period sound more like withdrawal or pregnancy? The signs don't seem to point to pregnancy, but I'm paranoid.
Thank you.
In July 2008 I switched over from Zoloft and Invega to Wellbutrin and Cymbalta. At that time, these were my only medications. In August 08, when I stood up from my chair, my legs had terrible tremors. They were so bad that I had to hold onto the desk. This still happens today. I also experience leg tremors when descending stairs - but not going up. I get minor tremors while going from a standing to a sitting position. My right hand has started to tremor - kind of fast but mild.
I have recently started on cymbalta for PTSD and anxiety. I took two weeks at 30mg and now have been taking 60mg for almost two weeks although it seems to be helping me mentally I now have numbness in each of my fingers on both hands? Initially, my hands hurt bad and my fingers were swollen and felt like both hands had fallen asleep but couldnt wake up for like three days.
Due my health insurance more then tripling the cost of Cymbalta I have to change meds. I have been using Cymbalta for alomost four years, I am very concerned that my Doc wants to start me on 40mg of Prozac when I have been on 120mg of Cymbalta. Can I have your thoughts about 40mg vs. 120mg and what side affects I will have to go though.
It cause soft erections and low libido. I tapered off it and during this phase the sexual problems were 80% better. After being totally off it for 2 weeks the sexual problems are worse than ever. I can't really achieve any erection and cannot climax.
Has anyone had these same issues? I am not sure if my body is still adjusting from being off it.
