hey andy my name is kelly . i have been on zoloft 5 yrs did great with it until 3 mo's ago . I found out my dad had prostrate cancer and just that knocked me all out of wack plus a few other stressors in my life at the same time. my psychiatrist told me to try cymbalta i thought for sure i had tried it once but he said i had not . Well i found a rx info sheet i save them all and it was cymbalta i had wrote on it that it made me feel dizzy so he took me off of it . I was in bad shape so he had started me straight out on 60 mg . this was nov 05 . I have been put back on it but this time he started me out at 20mg 1 week, today 2nd week i went to 30mg .I am on 200mg zoloft but today i went down to 150mg i stay at this for 2 weeks then down to 100mg for 2 weeks . Then i am to call him and see where i go from there . I haven't felt dizzy this time and have not had nausea. I just hope this works for me . I had suggested Effexor which he said is the same as cymbalta really except Effexor has a tendancy to raise blood pressue and I am on meds for that. I took effexor 12 yrs ago and it really worked well but i didn't have a blood pressure problem back then. Maybe you were started on to high of a dose. I dont know a thing about cymbalta and would love to hear from others myself on (positive) feedback . I worry all the time and hate changing meds . I dont have time to play around .I'm single with a 4 yr old son and at this time both parents are not well and i'm the only child so i have no outside help. I hope any one who reads this also will post something on cymbalta. sorry i couldn't help anymore than that .best of luck to you and all who reads . Wish there was a cure !!!!!!!!!
