cymbalta ibs

And any type of change can indeed aggravate IBS as well as the fact that Cymbalta is associated with gi changes. Please talk to your doctor about this. Let us know the outcome!

Hello LA, Thanks so much for the response to my rant yesterday. I feel better today. Still have the double vision but like always my friends here cheer me up. To answer your question. I was on Cymbalta for about 6 weeks. I asked to be taken off of it. It was making me feel strange. Very "short Fused", irritated, grouchy. I started taking Effexor when this started and I went back to it just a higher dose now. I have seen where people here have got on it and it has helped very well.

There are many anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medications that are actually used to treat IBS. Talk to your doctor about your symptoms and what your concerns are. I have multiple conditions, including IBS and anxiety, that these medications are used for. Right now I am taking one at a low dose in an attempt to treat my migraines. It is in a different class than the SSRI medications. I know of several people who take the same one that I take, Nortriptyline.

I'm a nurse working in an acute hospital situation, I have horses. I have been diagnosed by my physician with IBS, mild hypercalcemia, mild splenomegaly, 2 episodes of heart arrythmia with inverted P waves and chest pain. Other than the mildly elevated calcium, all other labs are within normal limits. No stool cultures.

m sure there are other things that can help. I now take Cymbalta for my stomach problems and it helps tremendously (IBS, PAIN etc). I hope this helps to provide a direction and I hope you aren't as bad as I was.

Constant worry, my mind doesn't slow down. I do not cry much, inward, weight loss, IBS....."food digestion"........Insomnia, Lump in throat at times. Muscle stiffness.

My symptoms are pretty classic, IBS, neck pain, hip pain, occasional swelling, etc. (magnesium, cymbalta, lyrica, yaz). I also have vulvar vestibuluitis (with 2 unsuccessful tissue excisions), a microadenoma on the pituitary gland (with slightly increased prolactin level), family history of severe juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, maternal hx of hypothyroidism, very low levels of IGA, and IBS. I found some old tests in a drawer that showed my thyroid antibody level at 135.

I would avoid wheat entirely, it's pro-inflammatory. Brown rice, teff, quinoa, tons of good grains out there to eat, and yes, whole grains are the way to go, they have the fiber still on them which helps with IBS. I wouldn't take medication for IBS since it tends to repress acid, but your stomach just makes more in order to digest protein. Try drinking a few ounces of aloe juice every day and take digestive enzymes. If you crave meat, eat it, but only naturally raised.

I have been diagnosed with fibro over a year ago and take numerous herbs and they tried cymbalta which I stopped cause it made me hyper and nausias now he gave me neurontin which I have not taken yet. Has anyone tried this med yet. Has anyone else developed a b12 defiency also.

I have been diagnosed with GAD, and IBS and last night i was totally agitated. :O(. kinda got bold with m son in military , however it was something he needed to hear. Dang youngins lol. Docotro has me on Cymbalta and klonopin. Yeshh why am i getting aggitated? On it for 3 weeks now. I'm agitated and have to see him in 1 hr. yikers! Could this also be due to possible constipation , something i ate....as we all know with IBS we have to watch what we eat.

I hope I said that right....and said Lyrica or Cymbalta..He said these 2 meds are successful in being used for pain but he does not want to put me on ALL kinds of meds..If he can treat both issues with 1 he can be satisfied, if not we will look at the other option....He also told me a story of a study of a patient with neuropathic pain from diabetes and said this med was used and worked well for..... So...follow up in 3 months..AND do not hesitate to call me if anything happens....

I have had diarrhea since Aparil everytime I eat or drink. I was taking Cymbalta them and that is when it began. I am not even finished eating and it starts. I have it about 10 to 15 times a day and sometimes it comes out like water. What can be causing it? I stopped taking Cymbalta the end of April. I can't even go anywhere until I take an antidiarrhea pill. I don't know if it is good to take too many of them.

meds that a lot of doctors tend to try - Cymbalta. How do you find the Cymbalta working for you? Have you noticed it has helped with your pain at all? Have you tried Savella? That also is a "newer" med that is used for fibro. Do you also take a muscle relaxer? If not, you may want to ask your doctor about adding one to your med regime. While I don't find that they help alone, I have found that they can be helpful when added to my other meds. How is your sleep?

I have been dealing with extreme fatigue, joint and muscle pain, weight gain, and IBS for years. I have been seeing my doctor for the past 3 years and she keeps telling me it is probably fibromyalgia because blood tests are coming back normal. She also thought it was depression and because of that and her thoughts of fibromyalgia, she put me on 120mg of cymbalta. I have been taking it for 3 years with no improvement except during PMS time when my mood is more stable.

two weeks after i had started the topamax i went on cymbalta 30 mg the first week then 60 mg the second, but i had to stop it cause quite honestly all that medication does is mess your body up. my whole digestive track and stomach has been messed up since, i started with constipation, now i have diarrhea often, stomach cramps, and loss of appetite from the topamax. i started smoking weed this year, and its the only thing that helps me eat and maintain my weight.

Hi all. Ive posted this question a few days ago & not many responses. 1st if you know me on this site im done detoxing from pain meds & now have been prescribed Cymbalta. Ill make it short. Im about 3 weeks or so into taking it & now im having horrible tremors, confusion and memory loss. I read these are rare but bad so I called the doc on call he just said..im not ur doc so all im gonna say is stop taking it (well duh of course im gonna do that)!

09 I asked my doctor to switch me to something else to try to curb those side effects that I associated with the medicine because every other medical test basically said I was healthy as a horse. Okay, so my doctor switched me over to Cymbalta, 60 mg/daily, and that seemed to work fine and actually helped the sweating problem. The week before Thanksgiving, I had a miniature nervous breakdown. I don't know how else to describe it.

I need some suggestions for pain relief. Lately my body has been soo stiff, like I've actually worked hard all day and my IBS is acting up terribly. I have tried Tramadol, T3's and Amitriptine (sorry can't spell it) but nothing seems to do the trick. I've also had bad sleeps, I can't remember the last time I've fallen asleep before 3am. I've done all the over-the-counter stuff but seriously I am suffering so bad as of late.

i also take natural calm a lady that has had fm for 10 yrs told me about that it has helped. also with ibs problem. i have hard time walking , pain and exhaustion it is so hard to understand. she is lucky to have you as a friend!

The usual symptoms are morning stiffness, tender points, fatigue and IBS. Fibromyalgia is a condition in which the person has long term body pain. The goal of treatment in this condition is to improve sleep and pain tolerance. Medicines should always be used along with exercise and behavior therapy. Medications like Duloxetione, pregabalin and Milnacipram have been approved for treating fibromyalgia.

It kinda sounds like a few things together. Fibromyalgia, pinched nerves, and IBS. They all go hand in hand. If you go see a rhuematologist they can give you a sure diagnosis on the Fibro. If you have Fibro then you do have IBS. Thats one thing you can't avoid. For the sore throat, when you get run down with fibro it will cause swollen glands and or sore throat. You need to get as much rest as you can and keep your feet up if possible. White mouthcan be cause by dehydration and medication.
