Problems with Cymbalta, do you have any?

Hi everyone.

I have been taking Cymbalta now for 6 days and well I think it seems to do a bit of good during the day, at night when I close my eyes and the lights are out..........WOW, everything that I dont think about now during the day is ALL there at night, while I lay there tossing and turning and in an out of conscious the things I think and dream of and REMEMBER completely as it happened or I was awake. I can not sleep, I lay there for hours with all these thoughts and then when I finally go to sleep I wake up and never have a good sleep. I maybe get 2-3 hours a sleep a night. I finally called the doctor and got a prescribtion for a sleep aid but....

Anyone else experience this?

I am on 30mg for the nxt week and then 60mg.

hi ibs frog,

i have been on cymbalta for about 5 months now. i am taking 90mg and it has helped me a great deal. give it a little more time and try and take it before you go to bed and see what happens. i think when you get up to 90mg you will feel better. i started at 30mg them to 60mg and now i am up to 90mg. just give it a little bit longer and if doesn't work them stop taking in. the problems i have with antidepressents is i gain weight and i hate that. so the way i see it.....is be thin and depressed or fat and happy. i still haven't made up my mind but if i gain anymore weight i think i will get off them.
