Avatar m tn First thing to note, Unfortunately smoking does affects the amount of duloxetine in your system and blood stream meaning that you will loose between 40 - 50% of the duloxetine dose you take. It is not uncommon for people to have their duloxetine prescription increased if they smoke.

It is not uncommon for people to have their duloxetine prescription increased if they smoke. Unfortunately it is not uncommon if you miss a dose to be experiencing these problems if your on a high dose, my patients even at a dose of 30mg do experience brain zaps, nausea and vomiting even with just one day missed.

Avatar f tn Many users mentioned on http://www.medhelp.org/posts/Depression-Mental-Health/Effexor-XR-withdrawal-symptoms/show/267377 that the lowest dose they had before going to zero of Effexor XR was 18.75mg. The lowest dose available in the market is known to me as the 37.5mg. Frankly, I'd like it for the 18.75 mg to exist - but how true is it? (Also, on other sites I read about people opening up the capsules but many don't recommend that as not all particles are exactly the same.

Avatar n tn I would not have recommend you to go onto duloxetine, in some, duloxetine can cause kidney and liver problems, drinking alcohol while taking this drug will unfortunately increase that risk and even more so with someone with your condition.
Avatar m tn Why are you opening the capsules? They are distributed prefilled by the manufacturer. You can call but typically, pharmaceuticals are held to high standards before releasing for shipping to pharmacies. Generics less so but still regulated. The pharmacists do not open/fill capsules ever.
Avatar f tn The only thing I have found in the literature so far that I can try is combining Gabapentin with Duloxetine. I did take Duloxetine previously for pain (adjunct to the Celebrex) and it did help, but my GP is skeptical that Gabapentin would help even if combined with Duloxetine. Does anyone else have Osteoarthritis and is unable to take NSAIDS and have you found a medication that works? Thanks in advance for your replies.
Avatar f tn I think my anxiety attacks are pretty much under control since I take the duloxetine, and I really think with me taking Duloxetine and me completely stopping the vyvanse was why I didn't have a harder time coming off the medication.
Avatar m tn t work for you after giving it a month to take effect try a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRI) like Duloxetine (Cymbalta, Yentreve). It acts a bit differently than the common selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) like Zoloft you are taking. So if Zoloft really don't work i would realy sugest the Cymbalta. Some info on Cymbalta Duloxetine (Cymbalta, Yentreve) is a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor manufactured and marketed by Eli Lilly.

Avatar n tn I was up all night running to the bathroom and was concerned when i looked up information on cymbalta that said not to open capsules. Did opening the capsules cause me to become ill or does this medication just not agree with me. I also felt unwell for a few days with stomach upset and sleeping too much with intense dreams and a foggy feeling in my head. Thank you.
Avatar f tn You can buy empty capsules and prepare your own doses by opening the Cymbalta capsules. I counted the little granules inside the Cymbalta capsules and calculate about how many granules (pellets) represents each miligram. For example if you have 250 granules on a 60mg Cymbalta capsules that means that about 4 granules represents 1 mg. This is just an example, I don't know how many granules you have in your capsules and I am assuming you are on 60 mg caspules.
4644692 tn?1360962137 That is tough right now though, since the drug comes in capsules and currently I am breaking them open and eyeballing about half my regular dose. I will discuss it with my doctor, but I suspect he will be resistant to change it since I've been on it so long. Plus he wasn't the doc who prescribed it. I am no longer seeing her (she left the practice). Do you know of any alternatives to nortryptyline for early awakening?
Avatar f tn I feel like opening the car door and running out.When I am at restaurants same thing happens I feel breathless, nervous, uneasy and restless.Even the thinking of going out makes all these symptoms. 7) The breathless feeling is not that I have to gasp air a lot through mouth or something hard.It feels as if my nose is blocked and the air is not passing through it proper by which I get tensed and uneasy.
Avatar f tn There are medications that can help alleviate the burning/pain. One of the main ones is Duloxetine, which is a generic for Cymbalta. I take that for my neuropathy… It helps considerably, but doesn’t eliminate the pain. If you look it up, Cymbalta (Duloxetine) is listed as an anti-depressant, but it’s used “off label” quite often for pain. Check with your doctor and see if that might be possibility for you.
Avatar n tn Due to the potency of Cymbalta in can indeed be a really tough drug to stop, can be worse than Effexor. Also another disadvantage about Cymbalta are the slow release capsules the duloxetine is in. This prevent you from slowly tapering it by slowly reducing your Cymbalta intake. First step would be to get on 30mg, not quit cold turkey after 5 years of use. About the clinic I never heard about a antidepressant rehab but you can ask your doctor about it.
Avatar n tn Does anyone know if it is ok to release the medicine out of capsules and mix the medicine up in juice? I have a problem swallowing pills and was not sure if this was an option????
Avatar f tn Hello, if you're taking about inserting it then I have heard it is dangerous as can introduce infection especially if your cervix is already opening. I've heard of women opening the capsules and rubbing it on their tummies instead. Not sure if it's effective or not but if it's safe then it's worth a go. All the best.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn To follow up, her pharmacist did call to tell her he gave her the wrong prescription back (he gave her those 4 adderall capsules on accident instead of her old sugar-like substance filled capsules) but I am still curious as to why there were capsules in her prescription that were sugar-like filled capsules, as well as authentic adderall capsules.
Avatar f tn I took the Diflucan that day, Thursday, and Friday as directed. Saturday I bought some Acidophilus capsules, two billion live cultures each. I took one Saturday and didn't notice anything. Sunday morning I took it and felt a burn near my labia majora, on the panty line. I didn't see any redness there, but I chalked it up to friction. I took another one on Monday, then felt burning and heat in my labia minora after I got to work. It wasn't terrible, but certainly noticeable.
