Hello, 4 weeks on Cymbalta 30mg. The last week has been hell, waking up anguished followed by depression.

No side effects for the first 10 days and then it started slowly going down, my doctor says to tough it up till the 29th till I see her. No upping until  I see her. Cipralex did not work, but did not cause so much anxiety .

I dont know if I can take that much longer, anybody been throuh this? does it get better or should I say less worse. Need encouragement, any experience would be appreciated. Are these side effects after 4 weeks?

I know it takes 6 to 8 weeks, but the worsening is getting me down and scared. Doctor says to take ativan as much as needed, and when I'm better, we'll work on that issue. I wake up earlier each day feeling ERK!

God, after 4 weeks, I would think it should be better. Stick with it? I dont know what to think anymore, please help me.

Charlie

HEY CHARLIE, I WENT THROUGH SIMILAR ISSUES WHEN I TRIED CYMBALTA. IT DID PASS BUT IT WAS NASTY TO SAY THE LEAST. IF IT GETS TO MUCH SEE YOUR DOCTOR EARLIER. SOME EFFECTS SHOULD TAKE PLACE SOON. I SEND MANY HEALING THOUGHTS YOUR WAY. I HOPE YOU FEEL BETTER VERY SOON.

WITH HEALING COMPASSION,

Hi Charlie,,

so sorry you are having such problems with Cymbalta. I had a major side effect from a prime drug one list also. now fun to deal with. Frustrating to get off and change.

I would take the ativan likee the doc ordered at bedtime especially.

I wish you peace and calm.

I am like you Charlie, I get the side effects about a month after being into the drug. I hate that because I always think I am doing good, then the side effects start. Mine don't go away. I hope yours do... Keep trying, if it gets too bad, call your doctor.

Hugs, Karen...
