Avatar n tn First thing to note, Unfortunately smoking does affects the amount of duloxetine in your system and blood stream meaning that you will loose between 40 - 50% of the duloxetine dose you take. It is not uncommon for people to have their duloxetine prescription increased if they smoke.

It is not uncommon for people to have their duloxetine prescription increased if they smoke. Unfortunately it is not uncommon if you miss a dose to be experiencing these problems if your on a high dose, my patients even at a dose of 30mg do experience brain zaps, nausea and vomiting even with just one day missed.

Avatar n tn I would not have recommend you to go onto duloxetine, in some, duloxetine can cause kidney and liver problems, drinking alcohol while taking this drug will unfortunately increase that risk and even more so with someone with your condition.
Avatar f tn I did take Duloxetine previously for pain (adjunct to the Celebrex) and it did help, but my GP is skeptical that Gabapentin would help even if combined with Duloxetine. Does anyone else have Osteoarthritis and is unable to take NSAIDS and have you found a medication that works? Thanks in advance for your replies.
Avatar f tn I think my anxiety attacks are pretty much under control since I take the duloxetine, and I really think with me taking Duloxetine and me completely stopping the vyvanse was why I didn't have a harder time coming off the medication.
Avatar f tn There is a risk from duloxetine in general can cause kidney and liver trouble in some, drinking alcohol while on this drug increases this likely hood and if your a alcoholic then my advice is to have 6 month blood tests of your kidney and liver functions.
1371498 tn?1365085813 ve already tried Cymbalta (Duloxetine) and other prescribed and herbal medicines. I am done having children so that is why my doctor is suggesting surgery. I was really hoping that maybe there was something that I haven't already tried...but apparently there isn't. Can you at least tell me if there is a connection between the stress incontinence and my menstrual cycle? It gets worse around this time of the month. Would birth control pills help manage this?
Avatar m tn 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. Duloxetine failed the US approval for stress urinary incontinence amidst the concerns about liver toxicity and suicidal events; however, it was approved for this indication in Europe and Canada.
446049 tn?1649005835 I am starting on a very low dose of the cymbalta, so that I can transition off the first one, and onto this one. Both my new gyne and my psych want me to give this a try. Since I have at least another month or two wait before I can go to the pain clinic, I'm willing to give everything I can a try! Some people do get wonderful results from the reviews I've read on line, so I am crossing my fingers I get the same results! My next step would be Neurontin.
20003388 tn?1515166040 I was recently switched from Paroxetine to Fluoxetine. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made. When on Paroxetine and I was tired ALL the time. I was literally falling asleep at my desk. It was hard to stay awake. I do have obstructive sleep apnea however I use a CPAP every night. According to the readout on the machine I usually stay between 2 and 4 events an hour.
Avatar f tn I was on that for several years and did better than anything else but my neuro wanted me off it, so I agreed to go with the Duloxetine. There are options.
Avatar f tn Due to the money crunch we have had to look to the canadian drug companys for my husbands meds that he takes, and when I ordered the cymbalta that is what they sent, and when I questioned it they said it was the same... So a little feed back would be great. thanks.
Avatar m tn For 8 years I have been getting a number of symptoms that have grown both in number and severity. I get an extremely sharp pain shooting down my left arm from the armpit to the end of my thumb and forefinger which could last up to about 10 secs (I call it the stinger) I still get this but less frequently. To this day, I have an increasing number of all sorts of shooting, stabbing, gnawing & aching pains all over my body along with stiff painful joints.
Avatar m tn I'm on Day 3 of Duloxetine and I've started having numbness/tingling in my arms, legs, hands and face. Is this normal and will it go away with time? I'm used to certain side effects from SSRI/SSNRI medications but never had this one before. It isn't super bad but it is kind of annoying. Any answers would be much appreciated.
Avatar n tn Hi, drugs like phenytoin, carbamazepine, gabapentin, and pregabalin, tricyclic antidepressants like amitryptline and duloxetine are some of the alternatives. But every drug has got side effects, so it is more of hit and trial to find out the right medicine for right candidate. Individual’s body respond differently to different drugs depending upon their genetic make up and metabolism.
Avatar m tn Hi, I do know that doctors will sometimes find a combo of things (most often by accident) works best in a patient. A low dose of one and a higher dose of another. With Mirtazapine & duloxetine used together, you have to watch for serotonin syndrome. They are commonly prescribed together though.
905463 tn?1243526062 I do take antidepressants for my depression and PTS. I take Duloxetine 2xd. I am on muscle relaxers as well. I went to my neurologist and he said that he thinks my spinal cord is tethered again and that I have to have a leg nerve test done. I have no clue what that is. He said it has to do with glue and needles. Thank you so much for responding!
