1535467 tn?1342231670 I had to fast taper via my doctor from 120mg of Cymbalta in 4 weeks (I have been on 60mg for a year and 120mg for 2 months) due to urinary retention.. I am off the drug right now, but still going through the withdrawal. I can handle the nausea, zaps, headaches, but my blood pressure has been spiking, especially when angered. This is very uncomfortable for me.. the high blood pressure was documented by my nurse, but apparently it was not high enough because they let me leave the office.

Avatar n tn I went to a different doctor, got a urinalyis and a blood test, and both came out fine. My blood sugar, electrolytes, and BUN were normal, and was the urnalysis. And yet my urinary system still is totally messed up. It is not so much after working out anymore, but rather right after a bowel movement. Whenever I have a bowel movement I will always feel like I have to urinate too, but I push and nothing comes out.
Avatar f tn Hi. It's certainly not incontinence, and I guess it's a kind of hesitation. But in talking to your doctor just say it stops and goes. Some years ago I was experiencing that and told my neuro, asking if it was just a normal part of aging (being pretty clueless at the time). He said no, go see a urologist. Well, I chose a urogynecologist and that was a good move for me. I learned that although peeing seems like a simple process, it's far from that.

Avatar n tn I have had every test, scan, procedure that the docs can think of - on my bladder, brain, and spine. My bladder is healthy; my spine has herniated and compressed discs and spinal stenosis throughout. Thankfully I have no pain. The docs say the compressions and herniations are not located where my bladder should be impacted. I have tried every medicine for bladder issues without any success or alleviation of symptoms.
4451049 tn?1387153437 I've had both urinary hesitation (most likely due to Lyme) and an almost symptomless UTI while I had Lyme. The difficulty voiding is a fairly common symptom in MS, and many of my neuroborreliosis symptoms mimicked MS. I had it for a couple months, and I'm confident it was from Lyme. But, there was another time when I was just feeling crummy. I happened to have a physical exam and a standard urine test showed I had a UTI. I was surprised.
1442059 tn?1340240952 I have depression and anxiety. I did try Cymbalta and it helped with my depression but did nothing for my anxiety so I quit taking it. The above poster is right, this med is stimulating so if you do decide to take it start at the lowest dose possible. You might want to consider taking an antidepressant that helps both anxiety and depression. Keep us up to date and let us know what you decide to do. We're here for you.
Avatar m tn Some info on Cymbalta Duloxetine (Cymbalta, Yentreve) is a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor manufactured and marketed by Eli Lilly. It is effective for major depressive disorder and it is as effective as venlafaxine in generalised anxiety disorder. It is well tolerated and is considered a first line treatment strategy.
Avatar n tn I lift weights frequently, and back in September I started having urinary pain after my workouts. I went to the doctor and got a urinalysis, and it came back clean. He told me it was probably nothing. For the next few weeks I continued having urinary pain after workouts, and in a few instances horrible mucky discharge from the penis (PAINFUL!) along with the pain. I also had another form of mucus (non-painful) in my urine everytime I had a bowel movement. And I was urinating frequently.
596143 tn?1226648054 I'm on Cymbalta for moodswings and fibro. Someone posted that they were on Cymbalta and Lamactil and it worked well. Cant find the post. Anyone taking this combination and does it work.
Avatar n tn I was put on cymbalta for depression and nerve pain ( RSD ). I hate taking new medicines I know nothing about. I am young and I am afraid of it. I start off taking 30 mgs for a week than increase to 60 than I will get up to 120 at some point. Could someone please tell me something about this drug? Is it safe? Thanks Susan...
Avatar f tn About a month and a half ago, I went to the gyno, because I was having breakthrough bleeding and wanted to make sure it would go away before I took a vacation to NM to visit a boyfriend. She didn't find anything, but I told her I was also having weird symptoms, like heaviness in the clitoral area, and urinary probs, and thought I had a UTI. Now, I'd never HAD a uti before...so I wasn't sure. She did a UA, which ended up contaminated. Gave me antibiotics anyway and sent me on my way.
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.

Avatar n tn I have come off of a lot of my medications. My final meds are Wellbutrin, Trazodone and Cymbalta. The Wellbutrin is suppose to take the place of the cymbalta. After horrible withdrawal, I came completely off of Cymbalta last week. I became so depressed that I couldn't stand to talk, much less move. All I wanted to do was sleep and be left alone. When I did interact, I was grizzly mean.
Avatar n tn The average dose for Cymbalta is 60mg per day, and although some doctors do prescribe it 120mg per day...there is no evidence to prove that it helps any more than the 60 mg per day. The maximim dose for Prozac is 80mg per day so you're still below the highest dosage on that one. I doubt your doctor will increase the Cymbalta anymore, and if he tries to...find another doctor! Best wishes.
Avatar f tn My sister started taking Cymbalta for Fibromyalgia and her appetite dropped a lot, and just a few months later she was pre-diabetic. I have read some other people's comments saying that going on or even going off of cymbalta has really messed up their blood sugar. some people even say that it made them diabetic. so if you are on cymbalta, just watch out for some of the pre-diabetes symptoms and tell your doctor about any weird eating habit changes that happen.
Avatar f tn Namaste, mcmcorp45 offers excellent information and advice and it is true that studies have shown that Cymbalta does note alter the reproduction process. If this is going to be your first child and you are having difficulties, I would consult with a doctor, who may need to refer you to a specialist as mcmcorp45 mentioned. Don't forget to have both parties evaluated for a possible problem.
Avatar n tn And Paxil gives more people a rough time upon stopping than any other antidepressant other than Effexor (and, ahem, Cymbalta). Your friend should have been tapered off the Paxil, and maybe was, but if not, and even if your friend was, there's a lot going on now possibly, too much for us to say which is which.
