cymbalta

Avatar n tn when i am working with someone on a long list of medication i get them to write down all their meds then i will point out that some of the meds they are taking are for the same symptom and one can be stopped for example, trazadone and ambien are sleeping pills, trazadone was used years ago for depression, not so much these days, plus your son is taking cymbalta and welbutrin for depression, i have not seen these 2 drugs being used together then i figure out how many doctors they have, how many p
98010 tn?1305899735 Had a really rough time in the beginning with the cymbalta and has resisted trying to go to something else. Thoughts? It seemed like the first month with Cymbalta helped with the depression (although awful side effects), but then started having a reverse effect. Has this happened to anyone else? 3) Finally just a theoretical question. People keep telling him that he can control his mind and that his mind doesn't control him.
Avatar f tn Be careful with Trazadone though because it is an anti-depressant and could stimulate manic episodes in someone with Bi-Polar Disease.
Avatar n tn Also,I have been on ambien 3 or more years now and as my tolerance builts up I need two 10mg ambien to go to sleep and I only get a 3 day supply. I take 2 or more a night and run out 15 days early where I get absolutly no sleep at all. I mean it none. Drs wont perscribe 2 ambien a night and I need to get off of it. I have had chronic insomnia since I was 14 and tried everything and w/o the ambien I get no sleep.
Avatar f tn I was wondering if taking 100mg of Tramadol at night along with 60 mg Cymbalta and 50 mg of Topamax could cause Serotonin Syndrome? I have recently had several of the symptoms but I was treated for Post Traumatic Stress. The more I think about it, it sounds like SS.
202665 tn?1248806733 Besides the medications I take for depression and BP (Cymbalta, lamictal, lithium), I've also been tking 50mg of Trazadone and 10mg of Ambien nightly for about 6 months. Sometimes it works...sometimes not. If I miss a certain window of time to take the night drugs...I'm wired instead of sleepy. I will stay up until 3-4a wandering around..eventually get a couple hours sleep, and still have high energy the next day...or couple days...until I crash.
Avatar f tn Yes, definelty read as much as you can about all the medicines he is taking!!!! I am on Oxycodone, Maxalt, Propranolol, Cymbalta and Ambien. Through my OWN research on these medicines, I found that I should not mix any of them together....but yet, My Dr. nor the Pharmacy told me it was dangerous so at first, I was....I could have died. Luckily, I only take the Maxalt as needed for Migraines and I always take my last pain pill a few hours before bed...
Avatar f tn Good question about dosage change with wellbutrin and cymbalta.....go with your gut instinct there - your body will likely let you know if you need to adjust. Everybody is a little different with this.....possibly depends on your drug of choice and both the dose and duration of use. Keep posting on this forum for both support and information - - lots of great people here that will help you. Its also good therapy to read posts and even the archives. hang in there.......
Avatar f tn I have been on Remeron for a few months and it has really helped with my anxiety. Recently my Doctor added cymbalta for nerve pain. This is only my third day with the cymbalta and my anxiety level is shooting through the roof. Also I have this dang ringing in my ears that does not want to go away. I questioned my doctor about taking remeron and cymbalta together and asured me that they work great together. I honestly don't know if I can stand this feeling.

Avatar m tn 1. Why when I take a 10 mg Ambien during the day (which my doctor wanted me to try) do I no longer have anxiety or depression and I am no longer nervous, I get my confidence back and I no longer sweat like crazy when shoveling or racking something up? 2.
Avatar f tn Has anyone taken Cymbalta for depression? If so, how long...what were the side effects if any? How long have you been taking it....are you happy with it?
620048 tn?1358018235 Ambien (zolpidem) is a well known cause of unusual sleep activity. Here are some quotes from drugs.com. about Ambien in connection with different things you have mentioned. • Some people using this medicine have engaged in activity such as driving, eating, or making phone calls and later having no memory of the activity. If this happens to you, stop taking Ambien and talk with your doctor about another treatment for your sleep disorder.
Avatar f tn I have been in Ambien for a few months now. I am a recovring alcoolic. I have social anxiety disorder, anic disorder, bipolar disorder, and borderline personality disorder. I am taking 60 mg Paxil at night, 15 mg of Buspar 3 times a day, a thyroid pill, Neurontin for back pain, and have tried Trazodone, Remeron, Seroquel, Cymbalta, all of em for slsep. Nada. I can't fall asleep at all but I really, really have to be waken up in almost an ice cold pool of water to wake up.
Avatar f tn I am 31 and been on bipolar meds for 15 years now on cymbalta and topamax but they are causing my blood pressure to drop to low anyone know of any other meds that may help cant take depokate or lithium allergic thanks for the help

Avatar f tn Hello everone, how are yall? I'm ok, I guess. It is so nice to know of others who are going through the pain that i'm goig through. Everyday, when I get up (after about only maybe 4-5 hours of sleep on average) I can't walk straight due to back pain. I have a 14 month old little boy and I can't pick him up until i've been up and trying to move for about 30-45 mins. My neck hurts everyday, and I usually end up with a mild migrane @ least 5 days a week.
Avatar m tn hey im a 20 year old male. i have anxiety/ hypochondria/ depression etc. the doc put me on 50mg Zoloft i have been on it for about 8 days and its giving me insomnia. I took zoloft about 2 years ago and it did this briefly and then quit (hoping it will stop again). The doc thought about putting me on Cymbalta instead but i went with the Zoloft since i had taken it before and it was "okay"/ some positve help..
Avatar m tn A little bit background info on me, I am 18 years old and at one point was on IV Ativant (2mg) along with Morphine for pain every-night in the hospital (for about 4 months) to help me sleep and control pain while I was being treated for Lymphoma. I am in remission for the cancer now, but still am having a ton of trouble falling asleep AND staying asleep. If I do manage to fall asleep (which takes >2 hours) I seem to wake up at least 3-4 times a night.
Avatar f tn I have taken over 20 different AD meds in my 17 years with this condition and Cymbalta is the only one that I found to be complete garbage.
Avatar f tn Hi and welcome to the forum! Wellbutrin is an atypical AD and with them it's very personal, it really depends from one person to another. Give it the time to kick in tho, it takes a minimum of 2 weeks. Best of luck to you. sophie.
Avatar f tn it was prescribed along with ambien to help me sleep. and after years on the ambien i find out that ambien causes anxiety so its avicious cycle. what a mess!!! oy vey!
499220 tn?1243052283 But I take Vicodin, Clonopin, Verapamil, Lamictal, Cymbalta, Ferrous Sulfate, Lofibra, Ambien, Lyrica, Flovent, Albuterol, Novolog, Lantus, Metformin.....that's what I can think of off the top of my head, there's more though....) probably because of all the meds that I take. But I was feeling good the last dose into the treatment 2 tabs for 7 days. But here I am again with another lump on my leg, just a little bit a way from where the last one was, and I feel sick.
Avatar f tn I was on percocet lyrica and cymbalta. Once the nerve damage got better I stopped the lyrica and cymbalta. After going back to work after surgery, I was afraid of taking percocet (im a teacher) so the dr gave me tramadol. 2 weeks ago I had steroidal injections in my pelvis and asked for something stronger because the tramadol wasnt working. I only take the vicodin at night, but it doesnt get rid of the pain.
Avatar m tn I went from about 3-4 hours sleep with the Cymbalta, to 5 hours sleep with Ambien while on the Cymbalta, to no sleep at all if I didn't take a sleeping medicine, both while I was on the Cymbalta and for a couple weeks after I stopped. Eventually, the rebound insomnia went away, but it has made me not want to take Ambien (or Cymbalta) ever again.
