Cymbalta...

Cymbalta caused me to have mini seizures. When I had previously had none. Since I have discontinued the Cymbalta the seizures have stopped. Anyone else had this problem? FYI

I'm on 120 mgs of Cymbalta/day. It took some getting used to (nausea in the beginning) ...I almost quit it..but it ended up working a bit... I think. I wouldn't call it a miracle drug and certainly it isn't for everyone. I would definitely check with the doctor as to whether this is in fact a side effect of it. You sound pretty sure though, so I guess you've done that already.

Hang in there! There are many other alternatives out there. Did ou see your doctor yet?

Let us know how you do...

Love and hugs....

I responded to the other post, but i will respond to you also. Cymbalta was the worst med ive ever been on. I don't have side affects from meds normally. I thought cymbalta was either going to make me crazy or i was going to die. I was a walking zombie, didnt know what day it was, couldnt take care of my kiddos. It was nasty for me. I took myself off of it after I called the doc i was then seeing, and was told she wanted me to stay on the cymbalta so my body could get used to it, ughh no thanks, i also never went back to her.

It is so strange that some can take a med with no problems, and that med actually helps their pain, others can't take it and or it doesnt help their pain.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
