Cymbalta

[Guest guest]

I have been on Cymbalta now for two weeks and have another free sample

week remaining. I'm to report back to primary care doctor for general

bloodwork for my two year check and to see how I'm doing on this

medication at 30 mg. a day. Doctor said may increase to 60 mg a day.

Cymbalta is fairly new, anti depressant with help for diabetic

neuropathy pain. I'm not diabetic but I have tingling and numbness in

my right arm due to breaking my elbow several years ago.

After two days the nausea went away (I could drink water and it would

stop), but I feel my appetite has decreased which is a plus for me, I

am awake now during the day and most of the night, and I feel stronger

for some strange reason. I feel like I'm not depressed and I guess

I'm not. Reports that it may help strengthen signal spincter muscles

helping incontinence. (If it does what it claims, it will be a great

medication for me and maybe The tingling has stopped but not the numbness.

Read about Cymbalta on the web, alot of the SSRIs help with neuropathy pains. I

am fortunate that I do not have pains other than sharp pin prick types in my

legs that go away with a touch. Maybe Cymbalta will help in time.

Hi one and all,

I see several people have mentioned Cymbalta. Would like to know how much

people were able to tolerate. I was okay up to 90 mg, but when I went to 120

milligrams, after about a week, I started having problems so Dr. took me off of

it.

Hi Carl,

I'm currently taking 60mgs of Cymbalta. I've only been on it for about 3

months now but I have been doing a lot better.

Has anyone taken Cymbalta? I am currently taking Fluoxetine. My

neurologist says there have not been conclusive tests that Cymbalta

is in fact better and it is more expensive. However, the

advertisements suggest that Cymbalta treats both the depression and

the " lethargy. "

I am taking the Cymbalta now but I see no results for the neuropathy. It has

helps me a little with depression, could be different for you though.

I've been on Cymbalta for about 3 months, 60 mg daily, and for me it definitely

has cut down drastically on nerve pain, enough so I can sleep through the night.

My son has been on cymbalta for a year now. He knows it helps with

depression and he thinks it has helped his pain.

Hi . I have been taking cymbalta for several

months. I like cymbalta better than ant other I have

tried. My pain management doctor said that once the

dosage gets to 120mg or more cymbalta will not only

treat depression but also neuropathy pain. I haven't

had any negative side effects either. Good luck
