I had the same experience with Cymbalta...sorry to hear that you had such a bad time with it. I hope you're feeling better!!!

Thank you, I appreciate it. I'm glad you are 'alive and well' too. I felt better almost immediately. It's hard to explain the 'fog' and the crazy things you do when people don't know and end up thinking you are suicidal. What a pain!

I was really mad that my doctor didn't warn me about the potential for that! I was absolutely not myself at all...went on crying jags...it was awful.

I'm glad you are better, sweetie! Wondered why I hadn't seen you on much! I will definitely stay away from that one!!

I have to agree. I don't don't have side affects from meds, normally. However a previous rheumo put me on cymbalta for my fibro pain, told me it was newly out, that was 2 years ago. I cannot tell you how horrible cymbalta made me feel almost immediately. I was lethargic, sick to my stomach, headache constantly, i missed work bcause i was so out of it i couldnt tell u what day it was, it was like i was inside a bubble. When i called that rheumo, her nurse called back and said, she wants u to stay on it so your body can get used to it, what? r u kidding me? i took myself off of that crap and never went back to that doc.

I have never had side affects like that, it was horrible. Hubby said that i was a completely different person, and i wasnt on it but a week and a half at most.

I am so glad you are now ok, sorry that you had to go through what u did though. I hope things are going ok and you are feeling good.

Thank God you are OK. My daughter was on that and attempted sucide. She was found in time, but it was close. No one should use this med. It is way too dangerous.

I could go beyond the first pill...totally Floored me and I was on the lowest dose...that was enough for me..

ment could NOT go beyond that first pill...I had to call my husband home from work I thought I was haveing a reaction....I have never called my husband home before...dr. told us there were really NO side effects from Cymbalta

I've been taking Cymbalta 60mg for over a year with no side effects, I was given it for depression originally before I was officially diagnosed with Fibro. I think that all anti-depressants can cause you to have the side effect that you had. I had a similar problem with Paxil and Effexor.

I'M ON 60 MG X2 AM, PM AND HAVE NEVER HAD A BAD RESPONSE TO THEM. WIERD HUH???

I also had problems with this med. It gave me heart palpitations. I'm sorry you had to go through all of that.

Glad to know what to look for. I just was put on it today. Took my first pill about 30 mins. ago. Will be watching. Thanks.

I have been on it for almost a year with no problems. It actually helps my pain. Im sorry you had such a bad time with it!

I've been on Cymbalta for about
4 months for depression. I started feeling really tired (brain fog and fatigue) with painful trigger points throughout my body. My doc increased the dosage to 90mg and I'm feeling much better.

I had the same thing with Cymbalta. I almost OD'd on Percocet. i wasn't trying to kill myself--but I just thought--hey it is the only thing that makes me feel slightly better--the more I take the better I'll feel. I don't know how I got into this state of mind! My husband said I was a crazy person on Cymbalta. I was always angry and moody and even more depressed. Just as an additional warning. I was about 22 when I got on Cymbalta--the warning says young adults and anti-d's are the same as teenagers in heightening suicidal thoughts--now that i'm 24 and on Zoloft--I don't seem to be having those issues and the anti d's are actually working!
