cymbalta

Avatar f tn Iv been taking celexa for the last four years for depression and anxiety and my doctor wants me to try Cymbalta as my celexa is no longer working and I have been suffering from pain that they believe is nerve related. Iv ready alot of reviews on this drug and not sure if its something I want to take, then again, iv read really good reviews on it. Anyone out there ever taken this drug and if so how was your experience with it.
Avatar f tn m curious as to why so many people are against the Mayo Clinic? I myself am a patient there currently undergoing diagnostics, though I received a clinical MS diagnosis upon first appointment in November, at this time my other cranial issues and viral issues are also being examined. My Neuro there was able to detect issues in one visit that other facilities could not in several other states- including Stanford Over the course off seven years.
Avatar f tn I have been on Cymbalta for about a year and a half. Before Cymbalta I was on Effexor and before that Zoloft. Out of the 3, Cymbalta has been the best for me. It works well, but it did VERY well for the first 2 months. I felt very happy and always in a good mood. I tried Lexapro once but it made me always down and in a bad mood.

1442059 tn?1340240952 Feeling pretty down does anyone have anything good to say about cymbalta.? I have high anxiety as well as lupus and a hep c treatment on the horizon. I know they will give me an anti depressant and I was hoping for some input. Most others make me feel bad.
1823499 tn?1370090289 Been on cymbalta a lil over a week. Felt good the first few days but got a horrible headache tues, then fri again. Almost went to er. A lil better today and neck is extremely sore to move and touch. I am gonna try for appt for nerve blocks. I cant stand this anymore.
Avatar f tn You are explaining my diagnosis exactly-I began Cymbalta and Lyrica February 2008.It truly helped the nerve pain and brought my muscle pain down to almost manageable.The medication that you are on I would think would be extremely dangerous. They are very addictive and they are only a stop gap for the pain you are going through. Depression is a real waste of time and it pulls you down into a dark and deep. pit. I believe when we grieve for a loved one we are grieving for ourselves.
Avatar n tn I can't answer that authoratatively. I haven't used nor had patient used. However most of my patients have been greatly helped by botox injections.
Avatar n tn s, I forgot to mention the brain zaps, and abnormal heart beats.
956292 tn?1334054869 I hope I said that right....and said Lyrica or Cymbalta..He said these 2 meds are successful in being used for pain but he does not want to put me on ALL kinds of meds..If he can treat both issues with 1 he can be satisfied, if not we will look at the other option....He also told me a story of a study of a patient with neuropathic pain from diabetes and said this med was used and worked well for..... So...follow up in 3 months..AND do not hesitate to call me if anything happens....
Avatar n tn is it ok to gradually taper off of cymbalta and slowly add in small amount of zoloft.....i am currently on 30 mg of cymbalta, down from original 60 mg for quite a few years.....my neurologist wants me to compl etely stop the cymbalta and start on 50 mg of zoloft, which i do not want to do because of the horrible cymbalta withdrawal, which i am already experiencing at 30mg.....
Avatar n tn I have gained alot of weight taking cymbalta. Is there any way to lose weight while on this medication. I exercise daily and watch what I eat but it has not helped.
Avatar n tn I don't know your lab levels, but you are obviously hypo. I don't know why she lowered your Synthroid instead of keeping you on the higher Synthroid and gradually introducing Cytomel. My doc didn't lower my Synthroid. He started me on a low dose Cytomel, and if I need more, he will eventually raise my Cytomel. The key to getting better is to know your lab levels and become a proactive, informed patient.
1081992 tn?1389903637 from doing a websearch, it seems that the vast majority* of free MRI reviews are only for the spine. Why is that? Is it because spine MRIs are very quick and easy to read? If that is true, then why is that true? Or if instead this is somehow only about the economics of marketing for new patients, then why is that true for spine patients only? Any speculations? Also, are spine docs now using Artificial Intelligence to read spine MRIs?
171791 tn?1358214381 Were you weaned off the Cymbalta slowly under the guidance of your doctor? How long were you taking it, at what dose?
Avatar f tn I am looking for a top notch cataract surgeon. So far I have relied on patient reviews, google and yelp reviews but none seem to match. If by chance someone knows of a surgeon, please reply to this request. Thank you so much - I have postponed surgery because of extreme fear - but if I had a good surgeon I would proceed.
1166402 tn?1303847056 I have been on both Remeron and Cymbalta and I never had problem with my WBC. My side-effects from Remeron is sore mouth when I wake up, lethargy, hypersomnia and severe constipation. On Cymbalta I had no side-effect. Switching back to Cymbalta ASAP.
Avatar m tn m worried that the combination of Cymbalta and Wellbutrin can cause this. Is the combintation of Cymbalta and Wellbutrin safe? Thanks very much!
Avatar f tn I want to know if anyone has switched safely from Cymbalta to Prozac? I was previously on Prozac for a couple of years and my dr. & I believed that it had stopped being as effective. I changed to Cymbalta with great results. However, I am starting to believe that it is no longer working and am considering changing back to Prozac. Has anyone else had trouble with the drugs effects tapering off like that? And if so, how do I go about safely making the change?
Avatar f tn He met with me and was pretty thorough and reduced my medications from 150 of Levothyoxine to 25 mg. He also suggested I increaes my Cymbalta. I called my doctor today and the nurse told me the reason for the 150 mg was that my family doctor wanted to help me with extra weight loss and thought this might do the trick. I asked about Cymbalta as I am taking 60 mg and he increased it to 120 mg, sort of nervous about this as it is designed at high doses for people with pain. That isn't me.
