Duloxetine (Cymbalta) side effects: 16 TIPS to AVOID side effects!

[@e.elsibea1518]

+Think Your Health Thank you so much! When you're on a polypharmarcy regimen it can often be difficult to know if you are looking at side effects, contraindications, or a new or worsening disease or disorder when new symptoms arise. How can one mitigate these or detect medication problems when being treated with many medications? Is there a specific type of doctor that should be consulted just to address toxicology? Any ways to address this concern and manage polypharmarcy would be greatly appreciated. I know you did one on the elderly. I am asking about the adult patient managing multiple chronic illnesses. It could save so many lives if this was addressed and would make good original content also, I believe. Thank you again, sir.

[@ThinkYourHealth]

Geriatricians are trained to manage polypharmacy and are aware of the challenges.Also a Geri-pharmacist can be consulted, they are trained to look for the concerns you mentioned.I work with one in our practise and she has been invaluable.If you google polypharmacy & WHO there is a interesting article you can download and read.Yes, it can be challenging to differentiate chronic comorbidities from side effects.The goal is to reduce pill burden to minimize potential drug drug interaction coupled with lifestyle challenges.

[@tinak.3022]

Thank you for explaining the side effects so well. I started taking this 3 months ago and my neurologist has increased it already. I suffer with small fiber neuropathy and I’ve had bipolar disorder since I was a teen. I used to take Prozac and was switched to trintellix when that came out. I’m on many other medications too. Since starting the cymbalta I’ve noticed that I sleep much more than I used to. On Monday, I struggled to stay awake while driving despite sleeping well throughout the night. I ended up falling asleep without even realizing it in the parking lot of the pharmacy. Will I have side effects from stopping the medicine after 3 months? Thank you for your time and knowledge.

[@diplomasaurus4232]

How can i be honest & transparent with my dr when they won't take the time to see us or listen???

[@Karina_Engr]

I take this at a low dose. First 30 mg now 60 mg and it's a wonderful treatment for me. I titrated myself up to every dose. I was first given 20mg. Some people don’t want to deal with fine powder, but I looked at it as an lab experiment. I'm a female in my mid 30-ies. I hope this helps someone. The stigma prevented me from trying this solution. I wish I started this medication sooner!

[@rainman7023]

Cymbalta is one of the hardest things I have ever quit. Quitting adderall wasn't as hard. The withdrawals are no joke. I'm not suicidal at all like some but the withdrawals from this stuff makes you feel like you're dying. You will get jitters, brain zaps, burning sensations, bad dry mouth, and facial paresthesia. I would not recommend this drug to anyone. Try something safe like Prozac or Lexapro. Even switching from this drug to Prozac gives you severe withdrawals. LIKE SERIOUSLY... DON'T TAKE CYMBALTA.

@@mrbard1 maybe because medical professionals prescribe Cymbalta like candy and downplay the discontinuation syndrome? More people should be aware of the danger associated with taking this antidepressant. Not all ADs are this difficult to quit

[@YoAuntyMihkoh]

It’s really important to remember that there is a wide variety of medications because there is a wide variety of mental illnesses. Just because someone had a hard time with this, it doesn’t mean you will. If your doctor prescribed it, it’s probably because they think it will help. Give it a try and if you need to come off, do so WITH a doctors help.

[@mikejackson1410]

I have not experienced any major issues with this med. I take it along with Lamotagrine for severe depression. I learned I had to take it at night, as it made me a bit sleepy during the day. On it for 15 years now and it does its job. Not all drugs work for everyone, and side effects are the same. Monitor yourself when you start it for the situations mentioned and if severe have your Doctor get you off it ASAP. Never take another that doesn’t help you or gives you negative reactions. It takes a while to find your cocktail of what helps.

[@Ms.Carter.]

Been taking this for three days, I had brain shocks, fussy head, teeth grinding, insomnia, inability to concentrate, feels like I need to yawn all the time but all over my body, slowness, dizziness, nausea, pressure behind my eyes 😮‍💨 can't write, low energy, thats on one 30mg tablet a day, they want me on two after two weeks 🥴🥴

[@LeahElisheva]

Stick with the 30 for 2 to 3 weeks and see how it goes before increasing dosage. These side effects went away after 2 weeks for me. I’m so grateful I waited it out. Because I am now on it for 2 months and it has helped me greatly. 30mg is perfect for me. I didn’t need to increase my dose. Everyone is different. So just because it works for me, doesn’t mean it will work for you. But you have to give it more than 2 weeks to figure that out. If after 2 weeks you still have very negative side effects, then it might be time to switch to something else. I’m not an expert by any means- I’m just a Physician’s Assistant who deals with this with patients as well as personally.

I tried effexor years ago before the extended release. It was fine till i tapered. Then i tried the extended release. Lasted three days. Could not eat or sleep the entire time. Was put on cymbalta just now and only made it one day on 20 mgs. Extreme thirst, major nausea, sweating, hot flashes, teeth grinding, could not eat or sleep and had bizarre visual issues where things looked like they were moving when they were not.

[@Polyphemus47]

I've been taking Duloxetine for about 3 years, now - prescribed to hopefully ease my diabetic neuropathy (which it did not, noticeably.) Just last night, I began watching vids about it, and it seems to explain some of the side-effects I've been experiencing. Among them: clumsiness (dropping things like salt shaker, etc), tics (hard blinking, cyclical muscle flexing, making little grunts when breathing, etc). My left eye has some blurring, and pressure, and the right side of my face often itches. I'd love to stop taking it, but the withdrawal symptoms so often mentioned scare the poo out of me. I hope to see my dr. to discuss a taper, but I take a 60mg capsule, so hopefully he'll prescribe pills that I can split. Thank you for this information!

[@ThinkYourHealth]

If nausea is one of you side effects try taking it with some food with your Doctor's approval.You may discuss reducing the dose a little to see if that help with side effects experienced.Consider taking the medication at night time once you health care provider approves. It is also important to find other measure to deal with your mood: 1) Develop a routine to go a to bed at the same time. 2) Healthy life style choices ( ie if you are drinking or smoking need to quit or at least reduce). 3) Be physically active, go for walks, exercise I assume you are taking propranolol off label to help with anxiety.Blood Pressure Lowering Agents such as propranolol may enhance the hypotensive effect of DULoxetine.So there is no absolute contraindication not to combine these meds. however you should be aware of side effects.Are your blood pressures stable?Sometimes chronically low blood pressure can cause nausea. Etizolam can its own issue as is a Benzodiazepine.

Its very uncomfortable but no pain. It usually happens randomly but fast movements can trigger it

[@ThinkYourHealth]

Lot of reasons can cause palpitations.If you're asking if stopping a medicine suddenly and if that can cause palpitations the answer is yes.Can orthostatic hypotension cause a faster heart rate and palpitations, yes.The main thing your Doctor has to rule out are organic causes.The most common reasons would be the heart and thyroid.Discuss with your Doctor.They are aware of your medical hx as well as what other medications you are on to rule out drug drug side effects.Simple tests which can be done is to test for orthostatic BP with BP readings, an EKG and a thyroid panel ( TSH,free T4)

Fark I was just started up on this 60 mg for anxiety general and now you make me scared.. i cant afford to be a weakling that cant stand up fast.... Hmm fark...

[@german_lifestyle_tajbakhsh7282]

I've been having vision problems in my right eye! Recently it has been more permanent. My vision is fully blurry now for two weeks and it had some other black shades and tunnel vision . I stopped the medication but i didn't know it could be because of this medication. Will my eye return to normal? Or should I be hospitalized early? My eye looks good as the eye doctor checked... And blood test seems normal in CBC.

Can duloxetine can for tremor

[@ThinkYourHealth]

In about 2-3 % of cases.However, will need to rule out other causes of tremor.

Excellent review of Duloxetine.

[@ThinkYourHealth]

Thank you kindly!

[@Mike-rh9zs]

The only good review is someone who tells you as a doctor not to take this drug. This drug ruined my life after taking 30mg dosage for 9 days.

[@TheOldMayfieldPlace]

@@Mike-rh9zs I am so sorry you went through such a horrible experience. I believe that medications should be a last resort, not the first, but this medication has helped many people. It is sad that you weren't one of them. I hope you found something that did address your needs.

[@Mike-rh9zs]

@@TheOldMayfieldPlace no two years later I still suffer multiple side effects from pills I never even took for 2 weeks. They are legit poison to the human body anyone who disagrees is just a straight up idiot that never took them.

how to stop use this tablet...! please talk to me!

[@ThinkYourHealth]

If you having side effects, of course reach out to your health care provider.You would need to taper the medication as instructed by your healthcare provider if you wish to do so to avoid discontinuation syndrome.

Duloxetine can cause bleeding (bleeding gums, nosebleeds, and in women, abnormal vaginal bleeding).

[@bostongirl717]

I have severe insomnia since I started taking Cymbalta. I’m about to wean off of it. My dr. Wants me to go from 30mg to 20mg for 5 days and completely stop. She said it takes 3-4 days to get out of your system. I’m really worried. So many people get severe withdrawal symptoms. I was on it before 60 mg and didn’t experience any withdrawal symptoms. Is she taking me off too fast?

No it causes weight loss, Amytriptilin makes you gain weight.

Didnt help me with depression or anxiety

[@nenadcubric2663]

Metabolism problems can cause anxiety and depression, and there is nothing what can help in those situation

[@eleganceandwhimsy]

This is a very dangerous drug. The side effects are terrible. Long term use is not recommended. Trying to ween off this drug is almost impossible.

[@marymyers4751]

It is not impossible. But, must be done. I recommend finding a safer mediactions for stress or try alternatives like accupunture and yoga, exerercise and just not caring what people think so much.

[@HurricaneIrene07]

Highly addictive

[@ProfessorTanyaSpeaks]

Yes. That barrage of tongue twisters could be responsible for the stomach ache. :-)

Witty.I cracked up when I read this!

[@sarahgeer494]

For me this drug was horible. I took 30mg for 4 days and stopped. Its been 5 days since I stopped and I still can not function. I had the severe dizziness, fog, could not concentrate. Heart palpitations, dizzy even when sitting down. I walked into a doorframe, nauseous and more. I did not eat for 4 days because I could not stand without the feeling of passing out. As a side note, I do have Chronic kidney disease and I am Diabetic type2. I also have fibromyalgia. But I will just deal with the pain instead of taking this drug. I am still sick from this drug after only taking it 4 days. My pharmacist said I could feel this way another 1 to 2 weeks. Never again!

Hell no this cymbalta got recalled look up ingredients smh what a bleep shocker
