increase in Cymbalta

If it is side effect it is. It shouldn't last more than two weeks. Be patient... I hope that the cymbalta works for you. Do keep us posted as to how you are doing.

Hugs, Karen

thanks I kinda thought it might be. what was the dose you started at BnotAfraid was it increased that high etc? I will try to be patient. Been feeling a bit better other than the increase in anxiety will let you know how things go I have a follow up with her again in march to tell her how things are going. Also finally got my appointment with the pain clinic on the 23rd of this month looking forward to it but not. hope all have a good night talk soon.

Ty while I know the relief is temporary it's still worth it and the first time didn't last very long but not to say that it won't for you as everyone is different I hope you have a successful experience. take care will keep in touch.

Ty I almost went back to the 60mgs tonight but I will give it another weeks or so and see how things go. How do you feel on 200mgs? sorry if i'm being noisy just curious.

thanks i'm going through a seperation right now and hopefully once things calm down the meds will do it's magic will talk to you soon

Thanks. Husband was diagnosed with clinical depression today. I've been trying to tell him to get help for a while now and I feel like it's my fault some how. They gave him meds and are arranging counselling for him and down the road we can get some couple therapy. However I'm wondering if we still need the seperation which I think we do. I will and always have tried to encourage him and make him feel good about himself I know he needs a professional. Hopefully once he feels better things may change but I can not change him I know. My stress levels are high need to go relax. Will post later as to how things are going.

not sure but I think that meds aren't really doing what they are suppose to but given that I'm still going through different emotions about the recent separation between me and spouse I've got to give it more time I guess. I have an appointment with the nurse on the 19th will explain things and see what she says. I am not complaining but the emotions I have gone through lately prob makes sense that the meds haven't had a chance to really work right I guess. Seems logical anyway any input would be welcomed. Hope all have a good day talk soon

Twiggy,

The meds may or may not have had a chance to come to their full capicity as of yet.
However, medicines only do so much for our depression and then it is up to us to complete the rest with skills and will power.

This very hard to do in the beginning especially with things like major life changes as a seperation. As Karen says, be patient with yourself try to keep self-love in mind.

Look at the resources at the top of the depression thread, some have been added for DBT skills and other skill to help.

Stay strong.
Peace
Trina

Hope everything goes well with this med Twiggy.

Do keep us posted..

Hugs, Karen...

Twiggy- have you found relief yet with med increase/different med? I'm in a similar boat. Upped Cymbalta to 90mg 6 days ago. Haven't noticed a significant improvement yet. I don't know how long it's supposed to take to notice improvement. This is the first time I've experienced a med change and in my past, when I went on Cymbalta 6 yrs ago, it worked beautifully. So this in between waiting does nothing for my mood or nerves!

Thanks for replies!!!
