I just started Cymbalta 3 days ago, and have completely lost my appetite. I don't feel like eating anything at all; is this common?

Yes, initially I had the same. I just ate with the family, and soon things went back to normal. Except with Cymbalta, I don't snack as much which is good.

See the thing is, we don't have set meals at all in my household, we all work different hours and such, so I just haven't really been eating. I grabbed some healthy fruit and nut bars that I have like 2 of a day; but that's really all I have been able to eat.

my daughter just started cymbalta and she told me she doesn't feel like eating but makes herself and she's been getting migraines

I had alot of nausea when I started but then I got the munchies really bad,especially for sweets. I'm not on cymbalta now but nausea passed after 10days or so. Maybe take a multi vit and make sure you stay hydrated. Good luck

Thankfully I'm not getting migraines, I did notice yesterday though that my disorientation was due to low blood pressure. I couldn't find my pulse at all yesterday, and was feeling dizzy and disoriented. I made myself a cup of chicken broth, and felt better after having it. I have low blood pressure to begin with, does anyone have any suggestions for raising it up?

Eat more salt... I have a son with low blood pressure that leads to fainting in hot weather. His dr said to give him salty snacks and drink water.
