cymbalta libido

Hello. I have taken cymbala for about 3 years. 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.

Help please. The issue is my libido is almost non-existent, and if you know what MPA is, my libido was NEVER too low!! I am a 46 year old male and had been on a regimen of taking depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) starting from 2002 until I quit @ 2009. I got married and found the woman of my dreams. I also am taking a medicinal pill cocktail of Atenolol, Norvasc, Wellbutrin, Topamax, Lamotragin, Abilify, and Cymbalta.

I would switch gradually to Cymbalta and see what happens rather than being on both. As for the Wellbutrin added to the mix it could help with libido since dopamine is in play. Both Zoloft and Wellbutrin sounds like something you could try before getting on Cymblata. I don't think you shoud mix Cymbalta with Wellbutrin personally.

im so upset, my dr put me on abilify in september with my effexor, my libido got very low and i wasnt able to come, now the dr is taking me off effexor and abilify and put me on celexa...now my libdo is completely gone and i cant come at all....it was the only thing i had left i was able to enjoy, i could always get in the mood and able to come fast and at least 2 times, now it just hurts and i dont want to do it....is this from the celexa?

Hi y'all, I've been struggling with clinical major depressive disorder/ anxiety for 11 years and have been on multiple meds. At this time I'm on lamictal, Wellbutrin, Klonipin, and cymbalta (treating to detox off and try fetzima). I am only 27 and just want relief. I've been on Klonipin for 4 years ( far too long) and I am at the point where I only take it to avoid getting sick with withdrawal.

Cymbalta *****, Cymbalta *****, Cymbalta *****, Cymbalta *****, Cymbalta *****, Cymbalta *****, Cymbalta *****, Cymbalta *****, Cymbalta *****, Cymbalta *****, Say it LOUD!!!! Why did you start the cymbalta? depression or pain?

t stand the Lyrica weight gain, the depression from the Gabapentin or the low libido from Cymbalta. None seemed to help my groin pain but Lyrica and Gabapentin did seem to alleviate the leg numbness. Two weeks ago I had to nerve blocks to my iliohypogastric nerves near my groin. The blocks only felt fine for one day then they made the pain worse and increased the pins and needles feeling in my hips and lower back. Kind of reaching around the were the nerves originate in the spine.

I take 120mg of cymbalta for years no such luck must be something else

My husband has been having ed problems for several years now, Collis helped a bit but not much. He has zero libido which is probably resulting from meds (methadone, cymbalta, abilify)... Lately, however he's been getting sort of a half erection randomly throughout the day and he says his whole penis hurts really badly. Has anyone ever heard of anything like this?

Have hair falling out, fatigue, depression, insomnia, fluid retention, numerous headaches, brittle fingernails, and fibromylagia. Am on Lyrica and Cymbalta. do you think that this could be hypothyroidism?

I took paxil only twice and it was only 5mg and it made me feel like a zombie. I know you need to give it more time but i just couldnt handle it they know gave me prozac.

I have little to no libido. My doctor has me switched over to Wellbutrin due to the low libido side effects. I am on my second week of a very low dose of Wellbutrin (35 mg am, 17 mg afternoon). I have noticed that for several hours after I take it, my lips and face tingle as if they are slightly numb. In addition, my thoughts are slightly jumbled and not clear. Is this normal? How long does it take for the Wellbutrin to kick in?

Should i be starting a new message thread for cymbalta? As for sexual side effects, i do think i'm losing libido and ability to reach orgasm due to cymbalta and while i used to believe this was unacceptable, i just want to feel better so badly that i don't care anymore. but if i don't feel better soon... i don't know. hate to think of having to try yet another drug and being even less functional again for a week or so.

Hi. I'm considering switching from 375 mg of Effexor XR to Proxac. I can't deal with how tired Effexor makes me. I'm going back to college and will not be able to sleep 15 hours in a night(?) any more. Also, being 19 years old, it would be nice to have a libido that isn't non-existant as Effexor as it either.

I have rheumatoid arthritis and having problems controlling it. I am on 40mg humira every other week. June 2007 - March 2008 I was on Enbrel and prednisone. I started on 10mg prednisone daily in June of 2007 and reduced it to 2 mg daily currently since December 2007. I am also very fatigued, have no libido, skin rashes here and there, my hands have "hot spots" of red and swollen flesh which moves around every few days.

I was put on Lyrica and had every side effect listed and then some, was then put on gabapentin and while less side effects, they were still severe enough that I couldn't continue. My doctor then switched me to Cymbalta. Cymbalta can be prescribed for nerve pain or anxiety. That has helped immensely. NOTE: when the pharmacy switched to the generic, I had similar psychological side effects similar to those from Lyrica and Gabapentin (confusion, stupidity, suicidal thoughts,...

Most of all of any of my Drs. have always told me that it usually takes at least two weeks for you to start feeling better once you start on any new med for depression. I would give it a little more time and try to think positive that it is going to help. The mind can be a powerful thing, look how it can sometimes react to just a placebo. If you still are not feeling better in a week I would contact your DR., maybe the dose needs to be increased.

SSRI's a group of drugs, which includes Prozac, from what I know - Wellbutrin which is sorta close to Prozac might be better for you and an easy switch from meds. Don't waste your time on those "natural" libido products, before I went off Cymbalta, I hadn't had on orgasm in years!! (we're talking 10+yrs) My GP said basically suck it up, your depression has more importance.
