Hi everyone,

My doc just put me on Cymbalta 30mg today. I recently tried Wellbutrin and Celexa, which I did not respond well to.

Has anyone else tried Cymbalta? If so, what was your experience?

Thanks!

Hey,

I just started taking 60mg of Cymbalta yesterday night. I haven't slept at all and I'm very tired, tense and nauseous. I feel like I'm buzzed or tipsy all day. I'm also losing my appetite due to being nauseous. I'm kind of scared right now.

Hey there,

I was on Cymbalta for over a year but had break through depression and at one time was up to 120 mg which really knocked me down.  So I did a slow wean off of this med.  I understand it works very well for many.

Remember each person reacts to meds in their own unique way so give it a try and hopefully this is the one that will work for you.

Kindly,

Kitt

Thanks, Kitt. That is helpful.

pyon88, I've also had a buzzed feeling since yesterday. I slept okay last night, but feel like someone cranked everything up a few notches and its hard to concentrate. Hopefully these side effects will disappear on their own.

I'm taking 60mg of Cymbalta, partly for my Depression and partly for my Fibromyalgia. My DR might be upping me to 90mg of Cymbalta because my Fibro is getting out of control again. I have not had any side effects or anything of the sort taking Cymbalta. I am very happy with it.

Update: Cymbalta is working wonderfully for me. I feel better than I have in years. Almost no depression and almost no anxiety. Yes!!
