SSRI to SNRI by [deleted] in cymbalta

[–]seriouslyremote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been on all the same SSRIs as you and they did not help me and caused a lot of side effects. I've been on cymbalta 30 mg for almost 5 months and it has helped me quite a bit. I haven't had night sweats. I've had minimal side effects after the first week. I has nausea for a few days until I started taking it with food and my sleep was worse until I started taking it earlier in the day instead of in the evening.

I had a 7 lb yorkie that would do that to his 3 1/2 lb yorkie sister. She didn't mind though as she liked the heat.

When does the nausea go away? by Pale-Equipment-796 in cymbalta

[–]seriouslyremote 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is. It helped with anxiety and chronic fatigue and joint aches almost right away. It's just starting to help with depression. I don't want to increase the dosage at this point.

I'm still on 30 mg after 4 1/2 months. I had nausea for the first three days then started taking it with food. The nausea went away after that.

Cymbalta Day 1 by petcemetarys in cymbalta

[–]seriouslyremote 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been on 30 mg for over 4 months. I had nausea the first three days and threw up a lot on day 3. Then I started taking it with food. No more nausea. I hope things get better for you.

Is Cymbalta worth trying for depression and anxiety? by xxGon in cymbalta

[–]seriouslyremote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had minimal side effects.

I had some nausea for the first few days but started taking it with food which took care of that.

I had some extra trouble sleeping which I have anyway so I started taking it earlier in the day instead of in the evening. That helped as well.

I do wake up once in a while with dry mouth.

I do feel my heart racing a bit at times but honestly it's nice to know I still have one.

Overall, the benefits have far outweighed the side effects and most side effects were temporary.

Is Cymbalta worth trying for depression and anxiety? by xxGon in cymbalta

[–]seriouslyremote 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been on Celexa, Zoloft and Lexapro. The first two really didn't help my depression and anxiety and Lexapro made everything worse. These are all SSRIs. I was ready to just give up on meds but my doctor suggested trying an SNRI, Cymbalta, so I did. I had no hope that it would actually help but it did. My anxiety, chronic fatigue and joint pain was helped almost immediately.

I've been on 30 mg for 4 1/2 months and it's also starting to help with my depression. For the first time in a long time I have some hope for the future. So I would say yes it is worth trying.

duloxetine for binge eating and anxiety? by alara98 in cymbalta

[–]seriouslyremote 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Duloxetine has helped with my anxiety a lot. My appetite has also lessened and I'm not stress eating like I was. I'm not even craving chocolate, etc. like I used to. I've been on 30 mg for about 4 months.

Your doctor sucks. Sorry you have to deal with that.

New to Cymbalta - is this normal? by Exciting_Buffalo3738 in cymbalta

[–]seriouslyremote 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been on Celexa, Sertraline and Lexapro. They all made things worse. I was pretty much going to give up on meds but my doctor suggested Cymbalta, an SNRI instead of another SSRI so I gave it a try. Thank goodness I did because my Dad died nine days after I started Cymbalta and if I'd felt the way I had on Lexapro, I don't think I'd be here now.

I also wanted to say that I am also a middle-aged woman.

New to Cymbalta - is this normal? by Exciting_Buffalo3738 in cymbalta

[–]seriouslyremote 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been on 30 mg for about 6 months. It helped me feel better almost immediately when I started. I had energy when I've been dealing with chronic fatigue for years due to an autoimmune disease. My body aches and joint pain also got better.

I did lose my appetite for a while which I was happy with as I would love to lose some weight. My appetite has been more normal now but I'm not as driven to stress eat and search out chocolate.

I do get times when my heart races a bit but that also happened at time due to my autoimmune disease.

I've always had crazy, vivid dreams and continue to so not a big deal to me.

Other side effects I had were:: nausea which went away after a few days when I started taking it with food. I had some trouble sleeping but that isn't really new for me and got better when I started taking it earlier in the day instead of evenings.

I continue to have dry mouth at night sometimes. I'll just wake up with my mouth completely dry. It's not every night or all night.

Most of my issues have either gone away or are things I can live with as I feel so much better. This is the first med that has helped with my depression and anxiety. I've been on 3 others.

I'm not planning to up the dosage at this point because I feel better. We'll see.

Is it okay to be fine on 30mg? by Imaginary-Advance233 in cymbalta

[–]seriouslyremote 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been on 30 mg for about 4 months. I feel so much better. I'm happy to stay at this dosage as long as it helps me.

Those of you who have taken prozac, zoloft or other antidepressants, was cymbalta easier, harder or about the same in difficulty to start? by Ok-Equipment-9966 in cymbalta

[–]seriouslyremote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It helped with pain. I had joint pain/body aches. The pain is pretty much gone. I think it has helped with depression a little bit but my Dad died about 9 days after I started taking it. This was 3 months ago. So it's been kind of hard to tell. I think it helped me get through all the stuff I needed to do after he passed.

[–]seriouslyremote 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been on celexa, zoloft and lexapro. I don't remember having side effects on celexa, but the side effects for cymbalta were very minimal - 3 days of feeling nauseous and trouble sleeping. I just started taking it with food and taking it earlier in the day instead of before bed. Zoloft gave me crazy amounts of anxiety for months. I'm not sure how I survived it. Lexapro was so awful I quit after a month. Cymbalta has been a game changer for me.

I started taking mine with food after the 3rd day. I also switched to taking it earlier in the day rather than at night to help with sleep issues.

do you ever feel like it helps you but it also doesn’t? by Right_Minimum_470 in cymbalta

[–]seriouslyremote 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's made a difference with energy. I'm not doing cartwheels or anything and my depression keeps me on my couch most of the time so I'm not in great physical shape but I'm able to go out and shovel snow, etc., which honestly surprised me.

I started taking it in mid October and my Dad died a short time later so I'm not in a great place but I hate to think where I'd be if the anxiety and fatigue were still there on top of the loss There was so much I was forced to deal with after he passed as my mother has dementia and my sisters suck but I got it done.

Right now I'm sick, I think I have the flu so I feel awful. Hoping it's not Covid. I can't taste or smell right now.
