cymbalta
I was told to be off of the meds because I felt clumsy, memory problems and spacey before while on Cymbalta. Now, it seems to of intensified. My Rheumatologist is testing me for possible MS as these new symptoms appear and others that I have. Sometimes when staring at the TV or computer screen my eyes feel like they jump and I get a dizzy disoriented feeling come over me and my head feels fuzzy. Does anyone else experience or have had experienced those symptoms before?

i agree with the other posts, cymbalta does not help anxiety, it made mine worse. what about adding an antianxiety med and going back down to 30mgs of the cymbalta? i hope you start feeling better soon. take care.
I didn't really have any problems with wellbutrin at first. I felt great. I had a ton of energy, I was getting things done, and I had no suicidal thoughts. Then all of the sudden things went totally wrong. It's like the medication just wore off. Now it feels like my depression is back in full swing. I have no energy, I can't get anything done, and I feel like just giving up.
Tapering slowly off is always safest, since it lessens the chance for long-term problems and developing new emotional problems you never had before. But even slow tapers leave many people with some withdrawal effects, so your choice is to go back on and taper even more slowly or wait it out. Fish oil is said to help with the brain zaps.
Hi Gomez............still having some of the same problems, I see. You've only been on the Cymbalta for 4 days, you need to give it time to reach therapeutic levels before making any decisions about it's efficacy for you.
As for the ache, if you discussed it with your doctor like I suggested, but it has returned, then by all means let him know it's back. It could warrant some further testing.

have broadened a warning about possible liver problems with Cymbalta, a drug used to treat depression and pain associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
"Postmarketing reports of liver injury (including hepatitis and cholestatic jaundice) suggest that patients with pre-existing liver disease who take [Cymbalta] may have an increased risk for further liver damage," says the FDA.
Cymbalta's labeling previously noted possible liver problems.
YES! I had terrible problems with Cymbalta. I was on it last year and had facial numbness, drooping, tremors, and a ton of other symptoms. By the time my husband realized what was going on with it, I was almost dead. I stayed in the hospital for a while and then was home and unable to function for quite a while afterward. Be VERY wary of this medicine. I still have memory loss and other effects from it. Please be careful with this medication.
Not saying that Cymbalta is a bad AD med, as it works great for many people. Just saying it gave me some pretty nasty symptoms.
Hi, My doctor wants to put me on cymbalta for nerve pain that I have been having from an injury I have from 2005. It's nerve pain from a fall I took. He says it will help to calm down the nerves and signals from my brain to help with the pain. The prescription is for 30mg, 1 tab a day then increase to 2 tabs and recheck with him in a month. I'm alittle scared to take this, as I have never had to go on this kind of medicene and I'm afraid what the side effects might do.
Hello, I have been on 10mg of Lexapro since September 2010 and I must admit that is has helped with anxiety and depression. At first i had energy and didn;t have sleep issues but for the past couple of months i've been very sluggish and groggy. The doc decided to switch me to Cymbalta. I will start at 30mg and work my way up to 60 mg. I'm a little concerned about making the switch because it makes me wonder if the whole gettting on a medication process will take place all over again.
Early last year I stopped Cymbalta and had no problems being on it or getting off of it. Then last Summer I began taking Victoza for my Diabetes, I take 1.2 mg injection every other day. It's a great medicine and has also helped me lose weight.
Then in Mid-December I was getting Depressed again and thought I might try going back on Cymbalta. I took one 60mg capsule in the early afternoon. I was fine until about 8 hours later.
Pls ppl,
Do not go onto any dose of Cymbalta w/o investigating it thoroughly. Thr is no exit strategy for Cymbalta and its half-life is only 12hrs; IOW, u cld be on Cymbalta 20mg for the rest of yr life b/c u cn't functn w/o it. Most of the ppl who hv tried to wean thmslvs off Cymbalta face awful serotonin w/drawal symptoms. It is not unusual tht Cymbalta patients hv broken the 20mg capsule and eliminated 1-2 pebbles (out of abt 50 in each capsule) per wk. it's a complete nightmare.
I just ordered more Cymbalta from Canada who in turn orders it from India. I always get the generic duloxetine from them but this time I also got duvanta.
In humans, there have been reports of problems in newborn babies born to mothers who were taking medications similar to Cymbalta. These problems can be as minor as irritability or as serious as seizures or lung problems.
It is important to note that depression in the mother may also not be healthy for a baby. Therefore, Cymbalta may be given to pregnant women if the healthcare provider believes that the benefits to the pregnant woman outweigh any possible risks to the unborn child.
