cymbalta

Avatar f tn It solved my rapid heart rate but recently my dizziness and lightheadedness and fuzzy vision have been worse. Do you think I am getting used to this drug? And after reasearaching on the web, why do I never see info about POTS and cymbalta?
Avatar n tn can some1 tell me if extreme physical activity increases the dizziness and if i should take the cymbalta when i get home from school instead of l8er that night?
1185895 tn?1266608090 ) My doctor also gave me some samples of Cymbalta 30mg. I have not yet started on it. My question is are they safe to take together? What about side affects? I do not like the dizziness and weird ear "sounds" that I am getting on the Clonazepam. Also, I am currently on medication for thyroid(Levothyroxin) as well as blood pressure(Cozaar), and Propoxypnen-APAP 100-650MG(for my spinal pain). Should I start on the Cymbalta? Will it interact with my other medication?
1580828 tn?1322128022 However, have been on disability for a little over a year from dizziness (imbalance) and migraines. It has been confirmed I have constant silent migraines due to mild chairi and cervical disk compression and cervical degeneration. My question is if I miss one dose of the cymbalta within a day I have the brain bashing migraine and the severe dizziness as bad as when it first occurred. Plus the fibro pain returns.
4753943 tn?1359934569 Did your doc just tell you to stop the Effexor and start the Cymbalta? What dose of Effexor are you stopping at, and what dose of Cymbalta are you starting at? Some people have seamless transitions, while others report some symptoms of a discontinuation syndrome, like you mentioned above. Hopefully, you'll have a smooth transition. Definitely let us know how you're feeling.
Avatar f tn My doctor started me on 30 Mg of cymbalta which has progressed to 60 mg per day. I think it has helped but am experiencing some dizziness. Is it a drug interaction?
Avatar m tn First, I hope you tapered off this drug as slowly as you needed to, as quitting abruptly can be much more difficult. Because you were only on it a month, you probably won't get a significant withdrawal, but individuals differ so nobody can tell you what you'll feel.
Avatar n tn Recently however, she has been overwhelmed by school and relationship drama and has emptied as many as 4 pills out on her counter and snorted them. The result is a terrifying tear between getting her help and respecting her wishes for me to stay with her and not get help. She started abusing the drug like this more frequently until it got to the point where her boyfriend and i tried to get her to stop. She ended up fighting both of us off like she had completely gone insane.
Avatar n tn I stop taking cymbalta about a week ago. Since then I have experienced headaches and nausea is this common? I was taking 60mgs for about a year for my fibromaylga.
451366 tn?1211304932 THEY ARE GREAT FOR BURNING FEET OR RESTLESS LEGS AND BACK PAIN. I TAKE IT WITH TRAMADOL PAIN MED AND CYMBALTA FOR BURNING FEET... A TOTAL MIRACLE WORKER COMBINED....
Avatar n tn I have just recently started experiencing icy hot sensations in my head. Also, they are starting to come now sometimes in my arms or upper back. Before this I had fatigue, dizziness and wooziness. It's very scary and I don't have any idea what to do.
462675 tn?1206697609 It still could have been the Cymbalta. One of side effects while on the medication can be dizziness. If the dizziness persists and you are concerned, get it checked out again. It should subside after a few weeks as your body readjusts. I'm not a doctor and I dont want to give you the impression my advice is professional advice--just my experience. So, you are not pregnant? Why did the dr think you were in the first place. Maybe you need a new dr??
Avatar f tn I've been on it for 3 years with no change in my depression. What I'm wondering about are the withdrawals that I think I've been experiencing. The doctor also has put me on Paxil while weaning me off the Cymbalta. The symptoms I've had are mostly being very shaky; so much so that it's hard to hold a spoon because I'm shaking that badly. Is this normal and will it go away?
Avatar f tn numbness and tingling of the face, including the mouth, hands, and feet, headache, dizziness, drowsiness, and attention problems. So, the symptoms you are experiencing may be side effects from the amount of Cymbalta you are still taking. I would recommend you talk with your prescribing physician and possibly a pharmacist as well about your symptoms and see if you might be able to cut back even more on the Cymbalta.
217229 tn?1192762404 I take Lyrica and Cymbalta and they help with the neuropathic pain associated with the Fibro and Diabectic nerve pain. The Cymbalta helps with a little pain. Side effects for me? I'm dizzy and sleepy in the daytime, but I take other things like Vicodin 750, Klonopin, Flexeril and Ambien, and Paxil. I gained weight with the Diabetes, so I can't tell. But I loved carbs before all of this.
Avatar n tn Cymbalta can have many side effects as with all medications. Have you read the pamphlet that came with your prescription from the pharamcy? It's always a good idea to read the information the pharmacy includes with the medication so you are aware of what side effects are possible and what side effects may be something you need to contact your prescriber about. But yes, Headaches can be a side effect of beginning the medication.
324184 tn?1308076203 Hello all. My partner has just stopped taking Cymbalta (60 mg after 3 + years) and started taking Pristiq (50 mg). She has been on it for 6 days and she has had diarrhea and vomiting for 3 out of those 6 days. Has anyone experienced these types of side effects on Pristiq? I know everyone is different and we're hoping that her body will adjust to it and start working. I'm also wondering if she is sick due to abruptly stopping the Cymbalta (her dr.

Avatar n tn I am currently taking klonopin twice a day which is a miracle for me prescribed from my psychiatrist... Prior to this I was taking cymbalta only for a week and 2 days! I stopped taking the cymbalta due to side effects. I didn't take any on Monday and still haven't. My primary care doctor prescribed the cymbalta to me! I was in the middle of withdrawing from celexa which was a nightmare in itself it's been almost a month I been off of it!
Avatar f tn I have in the last 4 months tapered myself off the cymbalta and I am suffering from withdrawal symptoms. I have been two weeks totally off this drug . The dizziness and brain zaps are getting better, but my taste buds are still horrible. It feels like the front of my tongue has been burnt and it feels like my teeth are coated with rubber. How long do these withdrawal symptoms last. I can handle it all, but the taste bud sensation is horrible.
1094370 tn?1317134825 Then, I started on Cymbalta at time of Menopause. Went off the Cymbalta for a while and then back on when I noticed the tinnitus starting. I also had a ton of amalgams removed unsafely (I did not know better) years before the menopause thing, but just to give you some ideas of my history. Anyhow, had two really bad bouts of vertigo but that has been maybe 2-4 years ago since the last.
460185 tn?1326077772 I noticed Ryan is back - yes, I read the disclaimer and yes I see a dr and talk to a pharmacist about meds and their interactions. My question is what are the pros and cons of Cymbalta? I'm not taking it but have seen it mentioned a number of times.
