I am exhausted. I am itchy. My eyes are itchy, My arms and legs are itchy and my face and head are itchy. I am so depressed and i can't read. I think the medication is making me itchy. I am having such negative thoughts

Great advice from Donna...
Especially taking your cellphone with you. I don't go anywhere without mine.

Bobby, how often are you bathing? If you are not bathing often enough or too often it can make you itchy :hug:

every other day. even my eyes are itchy

Bobby

Are you sure its not an either allergic reaction. Or that its not
an sinus or something like that reaction.
If it was your meds. THis would have been already happening.

I'd work on seeing if you changed laundry detergent, soaps and
things like that first.

I think you need to get it looked at if it continues. Because it doesn't
sound right.

I think it is the new medication.

I does sound like something that could be caused by medication.

Call your pdoc on Monday if it does not clear up.

If it is bad, skip the Sunday dose until you talk to the pdoc.

I looked up the side effects of Cymbalta, and itching IS a side effect. Some side effects can occur at any time you take a medication.

I'm sure you are very uncomfortable :hug::hug::hug:
I don't remember if Benadryl works for you or not...

If the Benadryl doesn't work, and the itching is really bad, I would try skipping a dose and calling your pdoc as Mari suggested :hug::hug::hug:

I know that you don't feel like the med is helping you anyway...

I am just skipping it and waiting for my next appt.

yesterday I couldn't walk after sitting for 3 1.2 hours last week in a restaurant. I wound up sitting on the sidewalk on 86th st trying to meet zeynep

I am sorry you are having troubles with walking.
((((HUGS)))))
