cymbalta

Avatar n tn I have tried it all! Everybody is different. I am on 60mg of Cymbalta. I can't not take it though because it messes me up (if my insurance is messing around etc...) but if youre ready to be consistent, I'd try it.
Avatar m tn Ask your doctor about Cymbalta. It's one of the new breed of anti-anxiety meds and might be better for you.
Avatar m tn I have been looking over the Thomas Recipe, and I have some questions. First here is a list if med's I am taking Flexerile, Soma, Cymbalta, and Neurontin. Will any of these medications help, or hurt doing the Thomas Recipe? I really don't have access to the valium. I can't taper down because I have taken my last pills today, and I am dry. I noticed the recipe said to watch taking MAIO's with some of the supplements. Does anyone know anything about this.
Avatar m tn and going to start Cymbalta 30 mg. The doc said to just switch. Is this safe? Does anyone have any input? Please help!
Avatar n tn My 20 year old daughter has been vomiting after eating and has had numerous gastro tests done that all appear to be normal. She's also on depression meds (Cymbalta, Lithium and Seroquel), and I'm wondering if it could be Lithium toxicity (a buildup of lithium in the system) causing the vomiting ... hoping to get her to the doc tomorrow ... blood work might be required to confirm that.
280418 tn?1306325910 I am tired of Neurontin, Pamelor and Cymbalta. I want to fix the problem, not mask it. I have also read that some vitamins - methyl B12 and alpha lipoic acid are helpful. I am willing to try just about anything. Does anyone have any suggestions? Should I go to Johns Hopkins and get a skin biopsy to check for small fiber neuropathy? Mine is idiopathic -not diabetic, not toxicity from vitamins or other toxins. Every test has come up normal - MRIs, Lumbar punctures, bloodwork etc.
872340 tn?1315715479 Unfortunately, milk thistle is not going to protect a person from tylenol toxicity. The toxicity occurs when tylenol is converted to a major breakdown product, N-acetyl-p-benzo-quinone imine (or 'NAPQI'). This conversion occurs at the liver and also at the kidney; NAPQI is directly toxic to liver cells and it also binds to the anti-oxidant glutathione, which worsens the toxic effects.
Avatar f tn Hi guys! I need a bit of help. My psych just switched me to Cymbalta, on for 5 days I was instructed to decrease to 50 mg Zoloft, then the 6th day do 25 mg Zoloft and take 20 mg cymbalta. Then just continue with only 20 mg cymbalta. I feel like it’s a really low dose and since just being on the cymbalta already I feel sick and massive headache and dizziness . My psych is out of town until 3 weeks so not sure if anyone else has insight on this?
Avatar m tn so dr put me on cymbalta and i take adhd med....cymbalta did nothing after raising dose...and nothing...so since cymbalta they said also was for my anxiety they switched me to prozac (fluoxene) (400mg a day...that's max per day)....so thats prozac, tramadol and adhd stimulant...which brings me to my point.....i very quickly each hour of each day became extremely ill...extreme fatigue, vomiting, shortness of breath, dizzy, shakey, blurred vision....the list goes on...
Avatar f tn Please get a complete hormone panel ESH, LH, estrogen, progesterone and see if there is an imbalance. Hormone replacement therapy will help. With metal toxicity, certain chelating agents are given which bind with the metal and remove them from the body. Normal detox diet will not take care of that. It basically increases the antioxidants in the body. Hope this helps. Take care!
280418 tn?1306325910 Does anyone else feel my pain? Literally? I have had burning pain that started Aug. 06 and has come and gone. It is usually present, and when I say "gone" I mean it feels better (not really gone). Flip flops are the only cure at this point. I have had all tests, all possibilities examined and nothing. I cannot believe that no MD has answers. I have researched everything! I am just tired, as it makes me f"eel" tired. I am taking Pamelor, Cymbalta and Neurontin.
5429367 tn?1368186006 I was given Cymbalta 30mg to stop the withdrawals. Three months ago I went into my dr. complaining of extreme fatigue and confusion. Dr. assumed it was merely depression and doubled my dose (I should mention that at this time I was attempting to combat the fatigue with caffeine and was up to 4-5 cups of coffee per day). HUGE mistake. My symptoms suggested serotonin toxicity; I had to stop after 4 days at this dose.
Avatar f tn I'm not aware that all of these meds are liver damaging, though all medications are liver toxic to a degree because it's the liver's job to take a close look at anything the body takes in and all medications are unnatural to it. For example, tricyclics and snris are known to be liver toxic, but I'm not sure ssris have a high degree of liver toxicity. I'm not expert on this, but I'm also not aware of all sleeping aids being liver toxic. Not sure about benzos either.
Avatar m tn i have tried numerous including prozac, wellbutrin, cymbalta, savella, zoloft. for the last 6 months i have been on savella 75 mg daily, wellbutrin 150 mg daily, and lyrica 150 mg daily. i take the supplement flax seed oil, omega 3 combination, take a daily mutil vitamin, and ambien at night. recently i have been so overwhelmed and aggitated. i have had chronic pain for the past ten years. ( i had a choledochal cyst removed and a rou and y, and two cysts in/on my liver).
Avatar f tn I have had really bad issues with walking, now requiring a can, for about a year. Diagnosed with Spinal Stenosis. It's gotten so bad that I started doing research. I have been doing 5-day energy shots daily for 6 months now - about 40mg of B6 per day (was doing emergen-c's before that). I'm thinking my walking, tingling may indeed be B6 toxicity and am going for a blood test this afternoon. I've gotten a lot of good information from this group - thank you.
Avatar m tn I am having all of the symptoms related to B6 toxicity. I do not take vitamin supplements and have a healthy diet. What can cause me to have such a high b6 level if I am not taking supplements? My doctor asked me to give him a month to figure it out but I am in pain and want some answers.
Avatar m tn I have been diagnosed with B6 toxicity. My doctor said that exercise would be good because it would speed metabolism. However, I'm concerned about doing what is best to heal my nerves. Since walking makes my feel hurt, throb, and twitch, I'm guessing that walking would actually hurt the healing process, not help. What has everyone else's experience been with healing from B6 toxicity and exercise? Do you think exercise helps or hinders the healing process?
408795 tn?1324935675 As I mentioned in a prior posts I am an ex-IV user and I have a question about toxicity. At the end of my using days I had a wake up call, it was in September 2003, I was using alot of illegal drugs. I had been taking loads of valium unprescribed and I did a dime, yes a dime bag of H. I don't like putting this out there but it's really the only way I can get to my question.
Avatar n tn Is it possible that my antimony level, more that twice and a half the normal range, could be causing me toxicity symptoms?
222267 tn?1253302210 You should note that I acquired my current disability while seeing my psychopharmocologist and there were no medical errors in jugdment made and I did stick with him. But Lithium toxicity, although rare is something that doesn't happen overnight and if you called it to your psychiatrist's attention they should have acted immediately. If you want more details pm me.
724811 tn?1291430786 Back when I was a kid in the early 1980's my older sister stole a tube of mercury from her high school science lab. It was a pretty good amount, not the small amount in a thermometer. I thought it was fascinating and we played with it for hour, rolling in around in our hands and watching it break apart and come together again. We did this for a few weeks or even months I would say.
Avatar n tn I RECENTLY STOPPED TAKING 400 MG OF PLAQUENIL DUE TO RETINAL TOXICITY. I TOOK THIS MED. FOR 20 PLUS YEARS.
