Re: Cymbalta?

[Guest guest]

I've lost weight while on Cymbalta. It's the best depression med I've taken.

It seems to temper the extremes. I get depressed but not usually as bad as I

can. I'm going through a lot right now; and I think the Cymbalta is the only

thing that has kept me from completely losing it.

Cymbalta?

My doctor just switched me to Cymbalta because I was gaining too

much

weight on Lyrica. 8 lbs in one month! The Lyrica really helped my pain.

I have been reading testimonies from patients on websites taking or who

have taken Cymbalta and it scares me too death! I trust all of you to

give me your honest opinions regarding Cymbalta. I will not start it

until I know your experiences. I have heard that several on here have

lost weight on Cymbalta. Has anyone gained more? What about other side

affects experienced? Thanks! Theresa in Tn

Theresa, I have been on Cymbalta for 5 months, I have lost some weight.

I don't know if that has anything to do with it or not. It has helped me so

much, I don't hate people anymore, no one is threatening to kill me and I

haven't hurt anyone lately. My mouth stills overloads occasionally but that

is because I haved lived long enough to state my opinion. I love it, my family

really loves it more!!!LOL It also seems to help with the pain in my back.

I always feel like I have been hit my a mack truck but I seem to feel better.

Good Luck an x Tn gal.

I love my Cymbalta. It handles my depression and helps some with my energy

level. My dosage was increased a couple months ago though because 60 mg.

wasn't enough for me anymore. The only side effect is some initial

tiredness that passes after your system adjusts. It took me about 2 weeks

with each dosage increase to lose the extra tiredness and feel the

depression improve. I hope it works well for you. Sorry to hear about the

Lyrica.

Does the Cymbalta help your pain? I have mild pain so far but no depression. I

am being started on 30 mg /day for one week then 60 /day for one week, then 60

2x /day. Does this sound right? Thanks, Theresa
