Cymbalta Remarks From Viewers.
“
I guess depression goes along with it so after I was diagnosed I was put on some of the old style antidepressants and they did nothing. The next try was Zoloft, it worked but had some unpleasant stomach side effects. Then I went on Prozac, it also worked but I gained 25 pounds!
I begged my doctor to put me on something different, well that different was Effexor. It worked pretty well and I seemed pretty normal on it. Eventually I got up to 300 mg. per day, I had gained my weight back again and was depressed.
My Rheumotologist wanted me to go off Effexor and try Cymbalta.
I followed his instructions. The first week I cut my dose in half, for days I was crying, and not sleeping. Finally I did get used to the 150 mg dose.
Then I was supposed to quit and start the Cymbalta. I did that and by the 3rd day I thought I would die. My stomach hurt so bad I was doubling over, I was dizzy, had migraines,terrible nightmares and night sweats, fuzzy headed, and had the most horrible muscle and joint pain I ever had, even with my lupus. He told me it was probably Effexor withdrawls and to go back on 75 mg.
