Default Very Short Time I was on Cymbalta 30mg
I was on Cymbalta (30mg - I think) for a very short time (a month maybe)... I was given Cymbalta for nerve pain and because I am on Topamax (200mg twice a day) for Nerve Pain my options are limited. And all it did was make me REALLY, REALLY sleepy. And it did not provide any relief of anything. The doctor then took me off of the medication. I am now on Celebrex at 200mg once a day and Daulidid for break through pain. Dose is 4mg for up to 4 times a day. I also wear the Duragesic 75mcg patch. I have ankle pain from an open compound fracture Sept 2006 and DDD since atleast 2002. I hope everything works out well for you and your meds.

Lightbulb cymbalta vs. zoloft
my humble opinion of cymbalta,
the pain and depression are much better - for moi... low dosage -
feeling more energetic... that is very nice.
so far so good a bit of nausea, but it is much better than zoloft!
been on it for several years - it was not helping me at all.

Confused caused someone to go nuts...?
I also would like to know the adverse effect this drug has had on other people. My doc pushed this on me right when I was having undiagnosed neuro and GI problems. I decided that I wouldn't know what was causing what and put it off. If there are 3 drugs in combo, how do you know which is causing the side effects?

A subject which is diffucult for me to discuss. Anyway, after some discussion I decided to try taking Cymbalta 30mg.
Been taking it since Friday evening and seem to be experiencing some side effects.
I'd be curious to hear what anyone has to say regarding anti-depressants or Cymbalta specifically.
What's been going on in last four days:
1) Waking up at night after only a couple hours sleep and not being able to get back to sleep due to my mind racing around different thoughts.
2) Weird dreams. Was dreaming enviromentalist's were carrying away my truck and I was the scorn of the neighborhood.
3) Nausea. Feeling like I need to vomit. Have not vomited though.This has happened several times now. No it's not acid reflux.
4) Tapping my feet or shaking my legs.
5) Pacing around the house.
6) Breathing. Seems like I have noticed my breathing more. Seems like I'm taking deeper faster breaths. I don't feel short of breath. I don't feel like I'm having any difficulty breathing, just seem to notice my breathing more.
7) Clenching my jaw and grinding my teeth.
If anyones got any thoughts I'd appreciate hearing them.
Thanks

Default meds and sups to try for pain fibro and others
a new study reported at the recent American Academy of Pain Medicine 28th Annual Meeting show that treatment with low-dose naltrexone (LDN) significantly reduces daily pain in those who suffer from fibromyalgia.
Naltrexone is an opioid antagonist drug whose main use is in the treatment of drug addiction. However, when used at much lower dosages in the region of 1.5 to 4.5mg it has be...

also its said that high doses of a sup called msm help pain its natural and worst side is if you go high or other issue you get the craps or a upset stomach its in milk meat etc natural and safe also Glucosamine 1,500 mg plus MSM 1,500
one web site talks about most over the counter sources are not a hige enough dose of msm its also available in the animal areas of stores like horse areas etc because they use it to help the animals exact same thing i am going to try them for my fibro and other stuff

Default cymbalta 30mg up dose to 60mg
hey,
i been taking 30mg for ten days then my doctor upped my dose to 60mg. Its my 3rd day taking the 60mg , and I am now clenching my jaw and feeling very anxious and have a hard time sleeping..I am on it for depression and back pain and besides clenching my jaw, and feeling very anxious, cymbalta is helping my with my depression and my back pain is pretty much gone. I think maybe I just have to go back to the 30mg, but other than that the medicine does work (:

Default
Aggravated tendency towards insomnia. Hot flashes long after I went through menopause. Weight gain and it wasn't helping with reduction of pain.
