can i take cymbalta with lexapro

I did not take Prozac, however I have been on Zoloft with minimal side effects. I noticed that most of them went away with time, but I do think they can numb your feelings a little bit, however, for me, the benefits clearly outweighed the costs. What does your husband think? I talked it over with my wife and she believes that it helps way more than it hurts the relationship :)....

says it is more effective in treating pain with depression/anxiety than cymbalta but I cannot take it because it makes me throw up (it is similiar to Effexor and i throw up with Effexor too...despite being on it for months trying to "get used to it"). Good luck!!!

Hi. What is gad? I can tell you that I tried Cymbalta and it made me so nauseous. I can't take it. I know lexapro has helped a lot of people with depression.

I also take 1mg of Clanozapam in the morning. As of today, I did not take the Cymbalta and am going to go back to the Lexapro tomorrow. Any thought?

I take amitryptiline (may hav spelled wrong) and it was prescribed to me to help headaches and I think it has really helped. It may help with overall pain and help u sleep as well. Just a suggestion. It helps with the prevention of headaches so u don't get thm to start with. All the best to u. I've had lots of headaches it can really make life miserable--- I wish u all the best.

Your post is a little confusing -- did you taper off the Zoloft, or go off cold turkey, or switch to Lexapro, or are you on both Zoloft and Lexapro and now Cymbalta? Going off any of these meds abruptly, even if you switch to another, can trigger a withdrawal, which is why I'm asking.

I was on klonpin forever everyday. Now i just take 10mgs of lexapro a night. I will have a bad day once in a while...but hey who doesn't...lol Never tryed pristiq, but many others.

Week 1: 10 mg Lexapro and 30 mg Cymbalta Week 2: 5 mg Lexapro and 60 mg Cymbalta Week 3 and on: 60 mg Cymbalta. Does that look standard? Should I expect any side effects? Thanks.

I have been on antidepressants before so I thought i would throw my two cents in here...I think the anxiety and mentally weird could be from both the things your missing but it's increased because you normally take the antidepressant daily and now your body is missing that as well. I know when I went off my rx for my ad I had 3 days of bad anxiety and crazy things going on in my head.

I am presently on lexapro,I was on cymbalta,I have social anxiety, anxiety,OCD and major depression.I am just wondering what medication would be best for my condtions.

My psychiatrist said that Cymbalta targets both seretonin and norephinephrine, so it is generally better for treating patients who have both depression and anxiety. I'm torn, though, because I'm taking Lexapro and while I don't feel great in terms of anxiety, I am not in a constant state of anxiety, like I was a few months ago. If I start Wellbutrin, it will be in addition to the Lexapro, so I feel like the only thing I would have to lose by trying it is some bad side effects.

i take cymbalta for chronic depression.

I'm currently taking Cymbalta 30mg once daily, but still very depressed :( Started out on 60mg daily about 2-3 years ago with no real results, so worked my way down to 30mg. I did try one weekend to quit it cold turkey. NOT smart!! withdrawls were the WORST!!!

It worked for pain but not anxiety. Switched back to paxil and all the pain came back. Now I wonder if I can take cymbalta and paxil but have not asked dr. yet. Does anyone know?

Im scared of how being on all these meds will make me feel im alos on klonopin and i took the cymbalta this morning and i feels spacy,,,,,,maybe i just didnt give lexapro a long enough try but im so afraid of meds and it was making me feel confused and nowim scared of how the cymbalta is makinfg me feel 2 hours after taking it and i was on it befpore im med phobia any thoughts

Well, I started on the Cymbalta and can say that it has been like a godsend to me. I have had no panic attacks and am feeling much like my old self, again. Thank you for your help.

Are you talking about Flexor? Cymbalta is an SNRI that can be prescribed for anxiety. Did your doctor prescribe these to you?

I have been living with severe anxiety and depression along with depersonalization for the last 6 months. I just started cymbalta 60mg. Was wondering if anyone thinks this might help with the anxiety and depersonalization feelings?

I assume you've discussed this history with your psychiatrist. Cymbalta for most people is more stimulating than ssris, so it's not usually used if anxiety is the primary problem, but you've pretty much exhausted the ssris. Still, I hope you discussed this with you doctor. Have you discussed tricyclics as well?

Stating i need to keep journal of medicine i am on because they had switched a couple. I cannot always feel that i can concentrate. I have been honest with doctors all along to the best of my ability. She has the records right there. yeshh. Isn't that what they are for? anyways all i have talked to say this reaction is not good. However i do feel it has helped my IBS. i do not feel calm. and i do not feel like i can remember or conentrate.

Because of sexual side effects with Effexor, my psychiatrist is switching me to Cymbalta because supposedly it has lower sexual side effects. Anyone out there that has tried both or anyone with positive things to say about Cymbalta? Thanks!

t sleeping much, but finally figured that out. I take 3mg Lunesta with 100mg of Meclizine and I can sleep through the night. Crazy I know, but it works.....Still very sleepy during the day and have to take a nap around lunch time. Thanks for the response.

I know each med is different and reacts differently with different people but Im at a loss. I stopped taking Cymbalta cold turkey and am having some mild withdrawal symptoms. Is it even worth it anymore to keep trying different medicating.
