cymbalta

396332 tn?1320003615 Ok so I have been taking Klonopin along with Cymbalta for a good 6 months. I started off taking .5 mg of klonopin about 1-2 times a day. Naturally over the months I started to gain tolerence to the drug. Now I take about 1mg of klonopin but just once a day. I notice this is starting to lose its effectivness now. If I taper down slowly can I gain effectiveness? Also how are klonopin withdrawl symptoms? I was on xanax for a while before this and I got off it with no problem.
Avatar m tn I just began a Cymbalta (30mg/day) treatment regimen, and coincidently ran out of clonazepam one week later. Rather than wait in the ER for 4 hours to see a doc, I am waiting for my next scheduled psychiatric appointment for a refill. It's been two weeks now, and my appointment is in another 2 weeks. I was prescribed .5mg/X2/day (morning & night) of Clonazepam (along with Trazodone (150mg at bedtime) for insomnia.
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 believe your doc will know if you have allergy! didn't you ask him what cause this symptoms then! are you sure it is not the begining of bad cold or kind of mouth infection!
Avatar f tn they put me on 60 mg of cymbalta and 2 mg of risperadal for racing thughts and 1 mg of ativan,later changed to klonopin...they stopped the cymbalta in july because it caused dierehha.........was on klonopin till end of jan. was changed to xanax now im back on klonopin tapering off the xanax.Dr.
Avatar m tn I had no withdrawals. After baby this last April my doctor put me on cymbalta 30 mg and klonopin as needed. Rt after the cymbalta got started I got intensely sick had major panic attacks, and manic feeling so I had to stop it. A week later I got weird symptoms like : panic attacks, increased anxiety, brain fog, constant dizziness, blurred vision ect. I took the klonopin and it wasn't helping and I refuse to take a higher dose.
1258539 tn?1293840202 Overall I think Cymbalta is one of the best medication out there but this have a cost. Cymbalta cost is outrageous and Cymbalta is very hard to stop. I stopped cold-turkey after using it for only 5 months and I had brain zaps for a little more than a month. The withdrawal was quite severe but it is expected with all potent powerful antidepressant.
1102732 tn?1257823629 s better than Effexor and the recent studies show really good results with Cymbalta. Effexor was introduced in 1993 and Cymbalta in 2004 for neuropathic pains and 2007 for treatment of depression and anxiety. Please note that i'm not a doctor and i'm only giving you suggestion based on my personal knowledge and current studies. You should talk about this with your doctor.

396332 tn?1320003615 There are so many factors to consider it can be pretty confusing. When I would have side effect questions I would usually go talk to my pharmacist and/or doctor to see what else I could do...keep us posted!
Avatar m tn got even worse, and depression now saw dr yesterday and he gave me cymbalta to start taking 30 mg for 1 week and 60 mg next 2 and added 0.5 xanax 3 times a day and to continue taking the 1 mg of klonopin twice a day. i understand the greif process and everything i am going through have talke to grief couns and they agreed that i needed something to assist the klonopin, but is the addition of cylmbalta and xanax safe.
Avatar f tn Since being on a antibotic and this cymbalta my neck feels funny and my throat feels like its got a lump of cotton in it,the cymbalta makes my mouth dry, I went to medical dr yesterday told him i thought i was allergic to meds he looked down my throat in my mouth and felt my neck and said im ok...........but its still bothering me,,,,,,,,,im thinking about stopping the cymbalta to see if it goes away.......Its really bad when i bend my head down and underneath my chin...........
Avatar n tn So today I stopped the Cymbalta and went back to taking 1 mg in the morning of klonopin and going to take 1 at night. It really does help I must say. I was just wondering does anyone just take klonopin only as a daily medication for their panic attacks? I have an appointment wednesday with my psych doctor and see what he says to do.
Avatar m tn Help! I have had a "hazey feeling" behind my forehead that for 13 years, but I took Klonopin 2 mg and the symptoms went away. The KLonopin stopped working 8 months ago and the "brain fog" has been so bad thsat I lost my job and attempted suicide. I need help fast. I have had all the test possible: eeg, mris, Cts, etc. all negative. I can't concentrate, it is hard to talk, hard to think, please help.
1452582 tn?1285093344 He said the klonopin was a band-aid, and the Cymbalta will really start fixing the problem with my neuro-transmitters and serotonin or whatever. He said that Cymbalta could initially CAUSE anxiety (which is apparently what I have), so the Klonopin will help with that. He also said I should take the full prescription for the Klonopin (.25mg three times a day). I'm really not wanting to go on all these drugs, and wanting to get better on my own.
Avatar f tn Im on 30 mg. of cymbalta since may 8,Klonopin since april 23 and xanax since feb..tapering off xanax.......since adding cymbalta to this mixture my blood pressure has dropped as my heart rate has too........is this normal for this mixture? I dont like the cymbalta so far and i thought the klonopin was suppose to help with my tapering off xanax,i was suppose to stop xanax 2 days ago and so far i havent because im scared of withdrawals......
Avatar f tn She said to take one every other day for two weeks and then quit. Keep taking Klonopin. Now I see Klonopin withdrawal and side affects are bad and maybe I'm getting symptoms from that too? This is the first morning I was to not take zoloft but heard tapering slowly is better, so took half (will do for two weeks) and then down to .125 for two weeks, now I wonder if I should get off klonopin first or what to do.
Avatar m tn i was on remeron for 6 weeks by my psychiatrists then last monday my pcp changed me to wellbutrin because i complained about tingling and weakness in my arms and legs then 2 days later i had a psychiatrists app. and he switched me to cymbalta 30mg and i am having leg weakness, sweats, arms weakness, what should i do is this witdrawel or side affect ?
Avatar f tn I had a breakdown and was placed on cymbalta 60 mg and Klonopin .5 mg at bedtime. I have been healthy for some time and have wanted to get the foggy feeling out of me. I titered off of the cymbalta slowely over 3 months and took my final dose in Sept of 08. I waited to make sure that I was ok and then Dec 10-15 stopped the Klonopin. Although I did have some problems I blamed lack of sleep. At about the 4-5 week mark the w/drawl was so severe I was placed back on the .5 mg dose 4 days ago.
Avatar f tn drop a pill every 10 days till off so im on 3 pills of klonopin as of wed. he wanted me to retry a lower dose of cymbalta and today im all messed up right sided head and eye pain dizziness and unclear thinking also pain in my check...........i guess it could be a combination of things but i feel like im losing it.i think i will give up on the cymbalta as i thik its teh klonopin causing the depression,and once im off it maybe i will be ok if i can do this with no meds................
Avatar f tn It can be uncontrollable crying or crying with screaming and yelling. I am on Cymbalta and Brintellix. I have Klonopin as needed. Is the Klonopin an appropriate/effective drug to prevent these overreactions?
Avatar f tn I have three choices. Add buspar(trying this first), switch to Cymbalta or increase my Klonopin. I originally started out at 2mgs of Klonopin many years ago, so I haven't built tolerance quickly. I actually lowered my dose a few years back. What Is considered a large dose? I don't like taking benzos, but I wanna live my best life. Welcome all opinions!
Avatar m tn i currently take cymbalta 60 mm once a day 2 mg kolipin in morning and 1 mg at night and now dr has put on 1mg ativan as needed. does anyone have any thoughts.
Avatar f tn It is your body and only YOU can determine what is right or not and sometimes that takes time and it can also take some trial and error. Being patient with anxiety is difficult. We all want a quick fix and for the most part, there just isn't one. So, have that talk with your doctor, get all your concerns on the table and ask lots of questions. It is your right to be told about every aspect of a medication your doctor is giving you. Good luck, keep us posted, OK?
Avatar f tn I feel so exhausted all the time and cant get motivated to do things like i used to. I suppose i should get back on the Cymbalta! As for your short term memory problem, i have the same problem and my husband tells me he knows for fact, that the drug is causing this! He hates that i take it, but, without it i cant sleep! I remember many years ago i got some tranxene and i loved it!! It gave me a nice relaxed feeling, the klonapen doesnt work quite like the tranxene does!
Avatar f tn On april 23,08 dr added klonopin and 0.5 3 times a day and told me to cut back to 2 mg of xanax....and he added 30 mg. of cymbalta..i did that till may 8,08 when i went and seen my dr. he told me to now cut back to 1 mg. of xanax for 1 wek then stop it that is should be fine with the klonopin...
