I think it depends on your own personal chemistry. For some people, cymbalta helps with anxiety and sleep issues. For others, including me, it causes nervousness and insomnia.

I personally can't take any SNRI's, including cymbalta or savella because they tend to make me nervous. I've heard a lot of people have good success with wellbutrin giving them some energy. It works on dopamine.

Hope this helps.

When I started on Cymbalta I got extreme fatigue. Did not at first relate it to the Med. then went to pick up the refill and said something to the pharmist and they said to change the time I take it to night and things are much better.

I never had a problem with Cymbalta causing fatigue. But everyone is different. If your fatigue is severe, either take it at night or talk to your doc about taking something else.

Cymbalta is causing insomnia for me, I sleep right now 3-4 hours a night and still restless at that. For weeks I will go like that then for three days I sleep non-stop. I'm on an anti-inflammatory and it really helps with the pressure most of the time.

Maybe you should have your vitamin d evaluated. I was very fatigued and they did blood work and it showed my levels were dangerously low. I was at 9 and should be anywhere between 60-100. I went through a 2 month course of perscription vitamin d 3x week at 50,000 IU per dose. Now I'm back to 81 and take vitamin d over the counter. Also 15 minutes of sunlight will increase your vitamin d naturally. (Some places it's difficult to get sunshine.) Hope this helps

I'm taking Cymbalta 60 mg am & 60 mg pm and I'm ok with it. I've not had an issue with fatigue. I guess it does depend on your body chemistry. I'm also on Nurontin and it does make me very tired. The Cymbalta at night does help me sleep better.

I never took Cymbalta, so I don't know if it helps fatigue. I do know about fatigue, though.
My doctor, gave me a med called NuVigil which helps with wakefulness and energy. He also sent me for a sleep study. I had it, and it showed mild sleep apnea, and some snoring thing. I also had no REM sleep at all and barely any deep delta sleep. In the morning, I am going to see a sleep specialist to see what he thinks.
As to the NuVigil, it does help me some. I take about an hour before I leave for work(I work 2nd shift) and it does help with the fatigue for a few hours.

Hope you find something that helps you, soon.
