Avatar f tn Hello. I'm 23 and I have PTSD. I use to take cymbalta which worked well for me but my insurance no longer covers it, which means it's over $1,000. Obviously being a full time student I cannot afford this. Does anyone know of anything natural I can take daily that will help? I have nightmares every night and keep my poor boyfriend up. And I'm getting worried that I may be developing sleep walking behavior. I don't want to feel out of it, and like I said I'm low on funds.
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 Iv'e been bad with nerves since I was 20 am now 58. It still goes on. I take cymbalta for depression and diazepam. I seem to go 3 to 4 months then something happens. I started losing my balance a fortnight since and couldn't stand for long though I have catarrh in my head since the weather came colder.
1711722 tn?1356487554 Finally, I know we are all different and respond differently to meds, but of the Pros and Cons, which AD do you prefer over another and why?? I started on Cymbalta but switched after a month because of constipation. Have been on Sertraline (Zoloft) ever since. It's hard to separate side effects when taking other meds. Thanks for any advice. I will talk to my new doc but wanted some additional footing first.
3191241 tn?1345032381 Hi there, A few common side effects of Cymbalta are nausea, dry mouth, increased sweating, constipation, loss of appetite etc.Infections, cancers, medications, thyroid problems, hormonal disorders and other neurological conditions can also cause night sweats.Tuberculosis, hyperhidrosis, endocarditis and lymphoma are common possibilities. To determine what is causing night sweats you should see a doctor.
1305767 tn?1361192676 Yeah I get what your saying. I think the scariest part of the nightmare is the fact that the dream so closely represents reality. I mean I've had other nightmares that are so far-fetched I know they are nightmares. These other dreams though, it's very hard to tell they are dreams.
Avatar n tn I have been taking 60mg of Cymbalta for Fibromyalgia for about 6mos. now. I decided to have my doctor take me off of the medicine b/c I wanted to try a more natural approach....5-htp. My dr. suggested I drop down to 30mg for 1 week (which I did) and then take 30mg every other day. I just started this process and I feel god awful. I skipped Monday night and all yesterday I had what they call brain zaps (thanks to google), horrible nightmares, fatigue (I'll deal w/ this one), and nausea.
692643 tn?1372611227 I suffer from bipolar..Cymbalta worked last year..til I broke out in hives..lol...my mood swings are unbearable and my brain is all over the place!!! I've always been a nervous wreak.. to begin with .... my shrink gave me cymbalta which isnt working....for alil over a month. .I'm in a standstill...my mother is ailing...& my Hplori is upseting my stomach... ...my general physician told me.. since I had surgerical hysterectomy.3 years ago.& didn't touch any estrogen pills...
530150 tn?1284658880 At that point, then it is safe to introduce the Cymbalta. On the day you introduce the Cymbalta you will discontinue the Effexor 37.5Mgs. This will ensure that your body is clear enough of the Effexor before starting the Cymbalta. These two meds do not mix well together. That's why it's important to reduce the level of Venlafaxine (Effexor) in your system before starting the Cymbalta.

Avatar f tn I had gone to my doctor at the time when I was having those nightmares and was put on Zoloft. Immediately the nightmares stopped. I stayed on that for quite awhile before I went back because it started to make me feel really "on edge". I ended up getting on Cymbalta but had to stop cold turkey because I couldn't afford it.
Avatar n tn I have a question is anyone just on klonopin for panic? I feel it's a wonder medication. I was on celexa and klonopin a little over a year now. I stopped the celexa I felt it wasn't doing much. The withdrawals from that were out of control! Something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. So I decided just to got o my primary care doctor for desperate help he was the only 1 around that day. He put me on Cymbalta I took it for a week 30mg's and for 2 days I took 60mg's.
796687 tn?1237333243 Continued on with both Lorozapam and hydrocodine untill about 6 months ago when the doctor suggested Cymbalta for the depression and took me off Tramadol. Don't remember a problem getting over the Tramadol that time because I think Cymbalta took up the slack. Used Cymbalta 30mg them 60mg for about 5 months and asked the Doctor to get me of of it. He said, 'go a week on 30mg and then take the Tramadol again...good luck! No, he actually said, "good luck." I was using .
Avatar m tn m afraid to sleep in the same room with my wife due to the nightmares and that I might hit her in my sleep. I also feel like I have mini shocks through my body, very anxious and down. I used to really like my doctor but now she is so busy our visits are 3 - 5 minutes. appointments with new drs are 6 months wait. I'm sick of all this and ready to get off all these meds since I've started off the zoloft. Can anyone advise me how?
Avatar n tn Getting ready to start Lexapro and I want to know the side effects you have experienced? I have been on Wellbutrion and Cymbalta and both were not for me. Made my anxiety worse. I lost weight on both but wanted to know the weight issue with Lexapro since there seems to be one. Thanks for the help.
Avatar m tn lower back & right leg pain NOT very consistent 2001 after 2nd pregnancy. lower back & right leg pain VERY consistent 2006 after 3rd pregnancy. 2007 the start of wanting to chop my right leg off every night from the constant pain. 2008 dr prescribed me every pain med to try what helps. Tramadol 50mg 1/3xs a day was the winner! later that same year got in 2 car accidents. 1st one was horrible. hit from behind on the highway, spun around, & flipped over a couple of times.
Avatar f tn Hey, I have been taking 300 mg of Tramadol daily since January and started having issues. When the hot flashes and excess sweating started my GP said your 41 maybe it's early menopause. Then came the nightmares and I started seeing things when I was awake, I didn't get out of bed for 3 days at a time. My GP said it must be depression so he added "Cymbalta". Bad idea if I don't say so myself.
Avatar f tn I started out on something called tramadol and over the years have been on fentynal path , opana 40mg with norco for break through pain along with lyrica, cymbalta, methotrexate, plaquinil, prednisone, and a few others. Several months ago I asked to come off of these medications as I feel I no longer am in touch with my body. I did well with all but lyrica, cymbalta and MS Contin . So I managed to get to 15 mg of MS Contin with 4 norco per day and the pain was tolerable.
Avatar f tn Not to mention that another doctor diagnosed me previous to this doctor as ADD, so I was on Adderall XR 20 mg and Cymbalta 60 mg. My Pdoc told me that it was a horrible combo for me - and progressively took me off of Cymbalta (withdrawals sucked big time) and put me on a progressively increasing Lamactical dose. I went from 12.5 to 25 to 50 and now I am getting to the 100mg stage. My issue is that I have had bouts with nausia, diarhea, and bad headaches.
Avatar f tn I've never been the kind to have nightmares until the last few weeks. I am 16 weeks pregnant first child n I was wondering if anyone else has had nightmares or could tell me if this is normal for pregnancies?
Avatar f tn Has any of you had any nightmares ? And have you woke up crying about it ?
