I was just put on Cymbalta and am finding myself extremely tired during the day. Has anyone else felt these side effects? I have had to take a nap 2 days in a row. Very unusual for me. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Linda

Everyone is different in their meds. How long have you had RSD? For me it has been 13 years and now full body. I' mobile , which I'm grateful for. Have had a lot of pt and massage therapy and I swim which helps a lot. I'm trying to build up my stamina. Where is your RSD and what is your treatment? Hope you have a good Dr. with experience. Most of us have been to several Drs. I was four years before being diagnosed. Welcome to the forum and hope you are having a better day. loretta |

I have been on Cymbalta for over 4 yrs. It is a wonderful drug that helps my depression/anxiety, as well as neuropathy. At first, I was sleepy and nauseous taking Cymbalta. My doc had me switch to taking Cymbalta just before bed, that way the sleep issue is happening at the correct time.

I take this as well though sleep is not a sidee issue I feel. I know when I started it I took it at night with dinner cause of it causing some stomach upset in individuals. I wonder if you changed the time you take it if your doctor says it is ok.
