cymbalta?
 

anyone else here take cymbalta too?
if so what do you think of it?:jumpin:

*high five*

It's one of the meds I take, was just swapped to it after Clormipramine wasn't doing much. I've only taken it for about a week now and not getting tired off it which is nice. I hate feeling drugged all the time and it doesn't seem to do that.

I wish I could help more, but like I said I just started too. Good luck though mate.

I've been taking Cymbalta for a long time, maybe a year and a half. It seems to help at times. It's the best anti-depressant I've been on so far, and I've been on a lot. I'm up to 90 mg of it, though. I still get depressed, but not as bad as before.
Good luck and God bless!

Not on it personally, but I've hard a lot of good things about it. Good luck and take care.

"depression hurts. cymbalta can help."

yeah, it's still under patent. that's about all i know about it.

i dont like it that much, ive had a really low suicidal period 2 weeks into taking it, and i dont fell much better

I've been taking it for 2 years roughly. It's not a good drug to come off but it does help me feel a bit better. make sure you take the dose at the same time each day or you'll get brain zaps. Anything I can help with, let me know.
xxxxxxxxxx

ya ive been takin it with xanax for the past 6 month and at one stage i tried to stop and i got those brain zap thingy's. they were scary to say the least lol. i think ive put up weight from it so i kinda want to stop it now not sure if i should tho.. anyway thnx for the reply xxx

It threw my gf in a psychotic state which went away right after she quit with the Cymbalta, so it really had no other reason than that medication...

brain zaps???????????

ya there like electric shocks that started just in my head but the longer i satyed off the meds they spread to the rest of my body..... so weird lol

I think brain zaps are the nervous system doing something crazy in the withdrawal period. I can probably find out if you like?
Marte that really doesn't surprise me. If I come off it I go psychoitic too. Looks like I'll be on this **** for life.

ya do if u want to, tho im not 2 worrid about them cos i dont have em anymore..... i really not likin the cymbalta at the mo im havin these really weird vivid dreams they are so real nd i guess they kinda funny but kinda annoyin too lol xx

She was psychotic while on it but withdrawal took a lot, too, yes. Scary stuff but it doesn't mean that everybody else has the same experience, it may be good for some of you.

i've been on it for a while, and at a kind of high dosage (90mg, it says not to go above 60). I have bipolar, so I'm also on seroquel.

It works well for me, but I don't think it's strong enough.

ya i think that im not on a high enough dose to be honest lol,
anyway going back to the doc soon so il c wat he thinks thanx for reply x
