Re: does one acclimate to Cymbalta side effects over time?-Jeanne

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the detailed meds information. I am allergic to tylenol

and anything with narcotic in it, so no Tylenol PM. I take the

Cymbalta only in the morning. So shouldn't interfere as much as that

evening dose you take. Now I'm wondering about the muscle relaxer you

say you take - is it also for the fibro? Or something else? Haven't

tried the Ambien. Usually the Amitriptylin works well for me, and my

remaining wakenings are from my obstructive sleep apnea. This despite

being on a bipap machine. The experience I'm having is one of wide-

awake and legs moving around like crazy. Been tested for restless leg

syndrome and don't have it. That's why I wondered if this feeling of

being hopped up on a stimulant is the Cymbalta.

(Adderall). Do you take the Cymbalta only in the morning? I take

mine twice a day, but the evening dose is usually around 6 p.m. With

it I'm also taking my Klonopin for anti-anxiety, and several other

meds. The Klonopin usually makes me sleepy, so I'll sleep for an

hour or two around 7 or 8 p.m. Then when I awaken, I take a half-

dose of Tylenol PM, and another muscle relaxer. And when I'm ready

to go back to sleep I take the Ambien. Don't know if that helps at

all.

Jeribelle,

What did the dr do to rule out restless leg? I have it and your descripters

sound like you have it.
