cymbalta - the side effects for my cellular self
 

dearest cs,
I was on month cymbalta for approx. a month
-I thought everything was going well , but I also now realize that each day the pain killing effects were working but I was getting eadgier,nightmares started getting bloody.
it became much harder for me to void, I was getting a little bit dizzy,
and I was feeling panicky, and then the other morning, I couldn't void,
I was having rollercoaster panic attacks, that I haven't had that exreme for type of panic for years.
I had to call 911, and my doctor...and the ambulance came,
I was having a dystonic event... so now I have to find middle ground once more, it was like the pain was still there but it was sending it through neuro pathways as scared, or edgy or panic...
I must say for the pain for me it was so much better, but for the mental reality it was very very scary.
so I am back on zoloft but I feel like hell, and must find a safe middle ground once more.
I feel like I am back at the beginning-again.
which shows once again, how different we all are at the cellular level.
take care,

I am sorry to hear that CtenaLouise:hug: I too just switched to cymbalta from effexor. I am just now making the transition, so on half effexor and half cymbalta. I have lots of pain and depression, so I asked the doctor if I could be switched to cymbalta. I will let you know how I react. Hopefully, my cells are cymbalta friendly :) I will let you know. Have you tried effexor?

When I asked my meds-savvy psychiatrist about switching from Effexor XR to Cymbalta about six weeks ago, she said to simply immediately replace one with the other. I have experienced only positive effects so far.

dear friends -
 

I hope it is cellular friendly for you both too!
it does awesome with pain removing!
if you do not have high anxiety, likea me- you should do well...
take care! ;)
