- My journey with duloxetine-cymbalta
Always do your research on medications, feel free to grill your doctor that’s what they’re their for!! Also remember that this is only MY story, everyones is completely different, what I say is not the be all and end all, just one of many peoples journeys!
And good luck on your journey ❤️
Cymbalta has changed my life. A year of the WORST anxiety and panic. I've never had any of that in my life. The heart palpitations were the worst part. Or not being able to go into a store, or just sleeping for a week. I lost my girlfriend, lost my high paying job. The Clonazepam wasn't working, the magnesium wasn't working. Finally I begged my new Dr to help me. That I couldn't take it anymore. Started cymbalta, 20mg for 2 weeks, then 60mg. I've been on 60mg now for a month. It's like I woke up one day and all the anxiety and heart palpitations were gone. So far 10 days now not a single symptom of anxiety. I feel alive again, and like myself. I'll take it forever if it means not ever feeling like I did for a year.
I'm having the same experience!
I’m so happy for you both! ❤❤❤
I'm on cymbalta for the last 15 years and it saved my life while many others I tried before that didn't. No side effects, no nothing. Only a quality of life, thank God.
Guess what?? I too have been saved!!! I’m tolerating it pretty well and my former self was just merely existing. It’s so sad to compare the majority of my life to now. 🤗
Dr put me on Cymbalta for post stroke pain. I had PAIN & STIFFNESS. Cymbalta helped with the pain (not stiffness). No side affects. I wanted to get off of it, because I was hearing bad stories. Cut from 60 to 30. No withdrawal symptoms. Only thing is is my pain came back with a VENGEANCE 😢 Upped it again. Hopefully I can find something for the STIFFNESS. I have tried about 6 different muscle relaxers, nothing has worked **sigh**
Young lady not withstanding infirmities, I so admire how fearless you are.
Thanks for this. I was put on Duloxetine and started last week. I took them for two days and it was as though I was in hell. Technically this is a " drug" but I actually felt like I was on drugs. I felt like I experienced every side effect listed. Soon after taking the first one, there went my appetite - completely. Stomach was upset, and through the day I got the brain fog. drowsiness came - little did I know what was to come. That night absolutely no sleep whatsoever - complete insomnia with a night filled with panic attacks and constant anxiety. I experienced the pins and needles and weird, weird feelings. No sleep and nausea, drained from the night - the next day I took the second one. Left work early that day as I was not well and tried to see my doctor. Couldn't get in. Went home and tried to sleep but constant anxiety surging through me. It was a sickening feeling. That night was hell. I broke out into a terrible fever - so awful. I was hot, but under blankets dying, and when I got up I was incredibly freezing. All the while feeling so sick, fragile, complete insomnia, panic attacks. I had pains all over, in my ribs etc that just did not feel right at all. As I said sickening feeling.. that next morning I was broken - absolutely scared to take that tablet again. Couldn't reach the doctor that prescribed these, but knew I needed a doctor asap. I didn't want to take them any more but you can't just stop taking these "cold Turkey." I went to my old family doctor and he said that drug is horrible and told me to stop taking it immediately. He said that drug can make you feel all kinds of horrible and weird things. That drug feels like poison. As if I wasn't hesitant enough to take medication, that drug.. wow.
Hi Kirsten, I completely understand what you went through and am so sorry you had to go through that! I'm so glad you went back to the drs so soon though - a lot of people feel that, because a dr said they will work, they carry on taking them in the hope they will get used to it but I wish i'd done what you did and gone back to the dr as soon as i had bad side effects! Hope you're doing ok now, i'm not on citalopram and really liking it!
Kirsten Smith omg you just described everything I’ve experienced for the last 7 years I’ve been on 100mg of this crap and afew more tablets coz I have a brain injury So I’m on nerve tablets aswell the side effects to cymbalta is killing me it’s beyond scary
@@speakyourmindm.h5794 you are a beautiful person. Hope you are doing well.
i have had all your symptoms taking this AD but the insomnia was helped with sleeping tabs.
i had no real choice in taking it as i was put on this drug for depression on psych ward.Every day was hell in a weird unusual place with other MH patients.
After two wks i was allowed out as i was feeling a bit better, back into the hands of my wonderful partner.i continued to take it and things got better i wasnt feeling like ending it all etc etc.......but of course once i got better i stopped taking it( i had even started sleeping) so i tapered off i didnt find that the withdrawals were too bad....i was fine for a few months
and then sleeless again.process starts again with dulox.....hell again for six weeks approx.
My point is that it is hell taking this drug until it starts to work.
When it eventually "works" it is alot
better than feeling pure sleepless depression.
My doctor (for over 5 years) told me everything about cymbalta. All side effects, the plan of action etc. I was feeling drunk for 4 days and restless and had a dry mouth for a week with dilated pupils. After a week those effect were gone and it helped with my anxiety and depression after 3 or 4 weeks. When my therapie will be further I will get off it with a plan from my doctor. A good doctor is very important dealing with this kind of medication!
This is good information
Why would you continue to take something that gives you all these side effects day after day? The belief in authorities is incredible..
@@orion9k Some minor side effects for a week. Isn't that bad. I trust my doctor because She helped me agreat deal back then. Not my fault you have shitty doctors or medical treatment in your country. But you do you mister internet genius.
I am currently on my third week on cymbalta, 60mgs. For the most part, it has helped a lot. Anxiety is steadily declining, mood is generally improving, and quality of sleep is improving as well. Luckily, my only side effect is constipation, which is fine. It is still kicking in though, as every day I feel about 2% better than the last.
However, I am aware that withdrawal will be a bad time. But I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it. I’m gonna stay on cymbalta for the foreseeable future. I’d rather get over my crippling mental health issues and go through a horrible withdrawal than continue to want to kill myself every day, in the prime of my life...
Hi! thanks so much for taking the time to comment, im SO glad to hear that this is working for you - I'm well aware that every medication is different for every person. I totally understand where you're coming from, and everyones journey is so so different, it sounds like you've given it a lot of thought though!! I have my fingers crossed that your journey continues to get better :D
I have been on Cymbalta, first I was on it for 4 years, 60mg; quit cold turkey... no withdrawal. One year later I started again and again I was on it for 4 years and quit cold turkey... no withdrawal at all. Overall I would say cymbalta was the best med I have tried... but we are all different... so. The only side-effect I had was euphoria after eating... sadly that went away
MisterDoctorE I’m so glad to hear that this worked for you! Its one of the few positive stories I have heard about cymbalta - but you are so right - everyone is so different and meds work differently with each person! It’s good for people to hear both sides of the medication for sure :)
Coming off is so terrible please reconsider.
It won't last, it will end up numb with tons of side effects and unable to get off it! Stop before it's too late
Thank you for sharing this. My GP prescribed it for chronic pain... After reading up on it i was super reluctant and hearing of your experience helped me out alot to stay with that decision!!
Update? :)
@@orion9k Hi, I didnt take the SNRI, but it got quite bad to the pointbit was causing me severe anxiety and panic attacks so she prescribed SSRI (sertriline) and reluctantly i accepted and tbh among other things it was on thing that helped i kind of wish i had been a bit more open to tryinf SNRIs as Duloxatine has helped a friend of mine, greatly reduced symptoms of Fibromyalgia. I still get pain but it's 80-90% less than before. But it wasnt just the medication that helped it was a lot of other stuff as well. (Meditation,weight control and psychotherapy, complementary treatment like massage and acupuncture etc, along with the medication played a huge part
dr just prescribed it for my scoliosis and osteonecrosis of my hip (had my left hip replaced last year, need the right done next) and duloxetine is ACTUALLY helping my chronic pain way more than i thought it would. it started working just a few hours after the first dose. this is only day 3 but i am really enjoying the pain reduction.
I suffer from Fibro and Depression. Duloxetine did help with my symptoms but I’ve gained 50lbs and the brain fog is horrible!! Whenever I try to talk to the doctors in my town they gaslight me and say it’s all in my head!! Hoping and praying to find a better med that suits me better😕😕.
Gained 45 lbs… makes me miserable!!!!!
your mom is so cool! May God help you and your Mom is blessed with you..
thank you
I went cold turkey from a high dosage. The first 5 nights are horrific but I eventually got through it. I locked the doors and stacked the fridge with food as it was my second attempt. It’s been just over a year now but give yourself about 8 months. It does get better.
I am currently trying to come off cymbalta.. stumbles across this video. Which I would of done my research first. Lesson learned.
Stephanie Pierini I wish I’d done my research too! But hindsight is a wonderful thing I suppose! Hope you’re doing ok!
Effexor for narcolepsy
I can feel your anxiety from "way over here" my dear friend.... thank you for this video as I'm trying to decide if I should go from "paxil" TO "Cymbalta" as I heard it works miracles.. I appreciate your reaching out........I'll stick with what I've been on for a couple of years...Blessings
I started cymbalta 30 mg six days ago. Like you, I didn’t do any research. I actually went to a neurologist because I feel like I’m loosing my memory. I shared with him that I’ve been depressed over a decade. I’ve never taken any medication for it. He actually didn’t do any sort of imaging of my brain. He just did a physical exam and wrote a prescription for cymbalta. I should have done research. I should have spoken up and insisted that he did imaging tests. I want to stop taking the medication because it’s making me jittery, numb, very sleepy, and has all but erased my appetite. I’m scared to quit cold turkey after watching this video.
Wellbutrin is amazing and no withdrawals❤ I hope you are doing okay.
Wow, thank you for sharing. I actually just started this medication and saw the side-effects, especially the withdraw symptoms. I, like you, suffer from anxiety and depression and am also a creative person. I’ve known for years that I’ve needed to be medicated and my previous medication I could never afford and my doctor only gave me sample packs. I am worried if I will never be able to be unmediated or what will happen to me should I ever be in a place in life where I want to start a family. So far I have seen some spikes in my mood since transitioning to the new drug (Cymbalta) but I am worried that I am too tired. I do not want to be sedated and I consider myself a creative person. It’s hard to be creative when depressed because everything feels like immense effort and your head is in a fog, but being tired all the time has the same effect. I want to stay on the medication for long enough to see if the tiredness will subside.
Megan Gallaher thank you so so much for your comment - I can so relate to everything you’re saying! I’m actually on citalopram now and I LOVE it! I had zero side effects for the first few weeks, I now have gained a lot of weight from them but that’s a small price to pay for how well my anxiety and depression are doing!!! I haven’t had brain fog in months, I do have my bad days but that’s now usually due to lack of sleep or stress etc. And most importantly - I’m SO creative still! They haven’t numbed me at all - I would really really advise looking into citalopram! ❤️❤️❤️
When I was getting off I bought a jewelers microgram scale. I take out 5% from the meds ever 2 days and I was clean in 40 days no sideeffects, no counting beads, easy peasy.
Nic B Creations that’s such a smart idea! Also sounds like you were very lucky, I guess everyone’s reaction is different eh! Thankyou for your comment and hope you’re staying safe in these crazy times ♥️
That's wonderful. Thank you so much for that information..... I've been wondering how much hell I was about to endure.
Mine has been a successful story until now. Been on Cymbalta for about 4 months. I was soooo depressed when taking Paxil!
Rosa Maria Santos when you say ‘til now’ has it started to not work as well? You’re feeling down? If that’s the case I’m sorry to hear that, ensure you’re keeping up safe care, exercise, healthy eating etc! I know how easy it is to become dependant on the meds without remembering that we have to put in effort to feel good too! Sorry you had a hard time with Paxil 😓
Until you try to come off it... Horrible medication.
Billionaire's lives matter
A billion times more
Than all the lives of every color combined --- acording to the celebutard cheater-class insider 'experts' and 'kiss-asses' trying desperately to sell the rest of humanity out
in their insatiable hellbent to become godlike billionaires themselves.
Time to cut the crap .
No fn doubt the establishment is a con's-piracy --- you can't blame anyone for speculating what is really going on when the 'knowledge that is power' is systematically and vigilantly reguarded as 'top secret' .
Time to hold them unmentionable self-chosen supremacist secret cults with diplomatic immunity accountable --- Before they 'manage' to make the rest of us various types of relatively poor Indigenous folks do each other in for nothing . . .
Stick that in yer algorithm and smoke it ...
Cymbalta has been a blessing for me. I have tried Zoloft, Lexapro, Paxil, Prozac, Lamotrigine, Latuda, Wellbrutin, Pristiq, Effexor. and none of those helped me AT ALL. But then when my doctor put me on Cymbalta, it changed my life after 5-6 weeks of taking it for the better. I am no longer an anxious mess, I don't have any social anxiety anymore (it used to be crippling, I couldn't even leave the house), I don't have any depression anymore, no sad thoughts racing through my head, and my mood is STABLE.. I have BPD so my moods were all over the place, I would be sort of ok one minute and the next I would freak out, and be so irritable and emotional, and thats completely stopped. Its crazy how much this medication helped me. I take 60 mg cymbalta in the morning with food (I originally started at 30 mg and increased to 60 after 3 weeks) .. I experienced nausea at first, crazy dreams, insomnia, headaches, exhaustion. I still get pretty tired but I am ok with feeling tired if my mood is stable, and my anxiety /depression is gone.
My doctor suggested cymbalta today. I have a month to decide. A lot of meds haven’t worked for me.How are you now?
Is it still working?
Is it still working?
@@VanessaSimon26yes, and I also take 20 mg adderal with this medication for my ADHD; and it definitely helps with not making me feel so tired.
Thank you for letting us know what can happen. I was just put on it. Going to stop before it ruins my life.
How are u getting on this drug, my doctor give it to me 4 days ago.
I'm terrified to continue with this.
It works for "some people".....I'm taking Paxil and there's deadly side effects to that too but this video really touches my heart.. I tried taking it ten years ago but I don't remember why it didn't work.. it was prob one of the deadly side effects!. Thank you and good luck!
Pharmakeia literally means sorcery in greek.
The ama logo is a couple of snakes choking out the winged tree of life for christsakes .
Time to give them greedy-sadistic genocidal megalomaniac eugenicist PRICK authoritarian lucifarian motherfrackers guilty of crimes against humanity and nature what they truly desrve ---
CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.
I've been on Duloxetine 60mg for many years and I feel what I think as normal, I have no plans of coming off it. How are you feeling 5 years later?
"Cymbalta hurts worse" is a great group. I'm tapering now and I am angry too
ooo where is that group, on facebook? It's a really hard time when you're tapering off... sending you healthy and good vibes xxxx
I am bouncing between anger and sadness and I can't stand myself sometimes
Making this video is raising awareness :-)
I have been on Cymbalta for 18 years and my life is 2000% better.
Great but how is your liver
Why what did you notice? I suffer from social anxiety, depression and lack of motivation. Would it help?
@@Anabolic_Nerd Try it and find out. One thing I did was start with only half the dose at first since a full capsule can make you feel "sickly". It takes time to get used to it but BOY it works wonders in about 6 weeks so it's not a quick fix.
I used to grind my teeth as a kid. I've just been put on this med! female doc who really seems to care, professionally
I love this! I’m happy to hear that!
The only issue here is that you didn't like going on it - but felt great on it? Then because you missed doses you decided to come off? Or am I missing something?
Also the issue with people and genetic code. I did a GENOMIND test and turns out I can't take most of them.
Cymbalta "should" work for me - but I'm still scared and likely won't take it ...
I'll check out your other videos.
Thank you - this was the best presentation
Hey Jasper, so basically I decided to come off for a few reasons... I thought it was time to see if I still 'needed' to be on medication for one, then also when I missed some doses and felt the withdrawal symptoms it was a real eye opener for me, I just felt really scared that it had that effect on my body, and so I did some research and heard so many horror stories about side effects, in my gut I just felt I didn't want to be on that anymore if it could have such intense effects on my body in a bad way, so I guess the bad symptoms outweighed the good symptoms for me.... does that make any sense?! haha!
Thank you for your feedback may God bless you
I am given Duloxetine 2 days ago, but i m too scared to take it. Every night i try to take but end up not taking it. 😢
Nosheen Ansari it can be a really scary thing starting a new medication. It’s different for everyone, you can always give it a go and come off as soon as you start feeling unwell? :(
@@speakyourmindm.h5794 thanks for reading my comment and replying. I decided not to take it, no matter what.... i can shut off my stress by my will power. I can stay happy and relax.. i can have a good mood myself. I do not need this horrible medicaian for being happy and relax.
Thanks again.
Regards... 😊
Nosheen Ansari how did you find it! I’m feeling the same as you were. I haven’t filled the script yet.
You're an amazing communicator!
Thank you Hayden, this is a really lovely comment and makes me feel like it's worthwhile doing these vlogs! I appreciate you taking the time to comment! :)
Everyone of us is different. Fallow what your body tells you. This is all you can do. If Cymbalta makes you sick, then wait before you try another. I wish you the best, and hope you find a way to overcome your problems.
Thanks for sharing. I took it for 3 days and it was hell . It was feeling like I was in drugs. I was exhausted , I fell asleep taking care of my at elderly mother and this has never happen before., I had nausea , my stomach hurts , my chest felt like I couldn’t even breathe. This drug was given to me for pain and I wouldn’t never take it again !!!!
Psych nurse and chronic pain patient . 30 percent of Caucasions do not even have the enzyme to metabolize psych drugs, most pain drugs and 25 percent of routine meds. Antideprssants should never be given for pain. It sucks
Thankyou for making this. I just had my 2 nd night on it and slept deep but woke with so much energy running thru my body up ointo my head..i had to move in bed but i couldnt move quick enough to dissipate the energy..felt panicky as and now adter feel exhasuted and sick...2 days.in!! I just watched my first vid on it and its yours..glad it was 3 years ago because now i wull go see how you are now..i am seriously thinking of throwing them out despite what i go through..thankyou
I agree. It's is too dangerous to drive on it. No one warns you about the side effects. About the addiction issue. It's a product and people profit from you buying it.
twist of -faith yes, I wish they told us about the side effects - but seems drs are genuinely not aware of them :(
I’m not trying to dismiss this. My doctor did warn me about certain side effects and he also started me on lowest dose. When I was taking it irregularly it was insane but now that I started a schedule about a week ago, same time every day, the extent is some foggyness and being sleepy. I guess I’m just wanting to see how long foggyness and being sleepy last for other people but I’m not finding anything good. I was told it should only last for 2 weeks and it’ll take 6-8 weeks to take full affect. So far I like it overall. The first one I tried actually made me suicidal and the other one I tried made me extremely nauseous. Being in therapy helps balance thoughts though so that could be playing a role in this not being hell.
Krystle hey! Thankyou so much for your comment, it’s so important for us all to share all sides of our stories - that’s what these platforms are here for ☺️ it sounds like you have a really good doctor - I have yet to meet one that is even aware that side effects from SSRI’s are a real thing, so sounds like you’re lucky to get an educated one!! Please do keep us updated on how it goes! ☺️♥️
Why did you want to stop taking them if they were working?
I'm on Cymbalta today is my first day. I feel sick. I'm nauseous and i just woke up to puke and poo at the same time. Am currently in bed and now i feel better. I still feel sick but not nauseous or need to poo, so am just laying in bed. I have no issues sleeping. Nauseous and diarrhea are my only side effects. My doctor told me about the side effects and i research them as well... but i need a hug lol i just feel sick.
I have low back pain with neuropathy. I have tried Lyrica and Gabapentin with no relief. I was scared to try Cymbalta but than I finally did. I'm in shock it actually helped with my chronic pain. I have been looking for relief for almost two years, so you can understand how I'm happy but yet concern about just masking the pain.
5537 I’m so glad it works for you! I lived with chronic pain for years and it was such a relief finding something that helped. Like I say, it’s completely different for every person and this is just my story. I can see how you feel like you’re masking the pain, I hope your journey continues well!! ❤️
I am going to start this weekend. I've been scared to try it to after watching so many videos but I'm in so much pain I don't have any other choice I hope it helps me too
All pain killers mask the pain ! That's exactly why they're made. Kill / mask the pain or live in pain ? I think I'll be very happy to mask it. Perhaps just me.
are you still on cymbalta
Your video was a blessing and I am dealing with cymbalta right now.
Omg I've just been given these today 😱 Honestly don't know what to do now 🤷🏻 Seen soooo many bad reviews on RUclips up to now. I've tried lots of different antidepressants and nothing has helped. I haven't had any for ages due to not being able to get in to see my doctor so god knows how long I will have to wait to see her again if I don't take these 🙄😳🤯
Hey Tee! thanks for taking the time to message - and good on you for doing some research! I SO understand the struggles of not being able to get an appt with the doctor - it's so frustrating isn't it! You can always give them a go and just be very self aware for the first few weeks, or if you're gut is telling you not to, try try and try again for another appt!!
Took Sertriline for 20 + years then swapped to Duloxetine for 3 Dr decided to stop them with 4 days 120 mg to 0 in 4 days i can hardly
seen or walk i feel like i have the flu from the Stand been in hospital twice now, the brain buzzes have stopped me working and Driving i cant keep food down the only food i can take is lucozade but i have Diabetes and
so try working that out i refused Gabapentin as the withdrawal was equally as bad same goes for Amitriptyline i take an antiimetic, 40mg of Diazepam daily, 15 mg of Librium and now 20 mg of LST MORPHINE i can survive like this or i could go back on to the Duloxetine or i can take the pain without medication and i can take the depression again without the meds theres no easy solution to this nightmare i am suing the makers of Duloxetine and my own Dr for the lack of warning and reducing my intake almost overnight
I was just prescribed cymbalta. My main question for everybody who suffers from side effects, how many of you guys always ate food before taking cymbalta? I'm curious to see if the lack of food is making the drug much more potent for people who are suffering from side effects.
I haven’t suffered any side effects actually (none that I notice, at least) and I’m on 60mg. It’s been about 1.5 months and I haven’t found it to be that helpful yet, but it hasn’t been harmful. Honestly, this video confuses me; she said it was working wonderfully for 2 years until she stopped taking them cold turkey and the withdrawal symptoms are what were the problem. Yeah, withdrawal symptoms are awful for a lot of drugs (Paxil’s were awful for me and it took me over half a year to get off them so slowly) but that doesn’t mean the drug itself can’t be beneficial.
What’s your experience been?
@@izstrella I quit after taking it for a whole month. The "zaps" that the video refers to, I am guessing, is the same sensation that I got but much worse considering the extent of time she's been taking them.
The "zaps" for me were very pleasurable, it was like a few seconds of euphoria and nostalgia just being rubbed on my brain like some massage oil, and it would go away. Almost orgasmic, but spontaneous and chronic. It was kind of difficult driving properly when it would just suddenly kick in like that.
I'm off that stuff now though. The emotional suppressing quality was a bit too much for me. I was prescribed Adderall instead after a few more visits with my therapist. It has worked miracles for me in my adult life.
I hope everything works out for you.
Best of luck to you.
@@jaymusic5417 • Really? Damn, it’s so odd how the same medication can affect people so WILDLY differently. Good to hear you’re on a stimulant now though! I’m on Vyvanse for ADHD as well as Cymbalta and so far the combo is great, just need to slowly up my dosages because the Vyvanse 60mg only lasts 5-6 hours when it should be 12-14.
Best of luck with your recovery!
I started Cymbalta about 5 months ago and it was amazing for reducing my pain. Fast forward to now...I have terrible night sweats, I'm losing my hair at an incredible rate and I am experiencing myoclonus. And to put the cherry on top the Cymbalta completely stopped working suddenly which I guess that doesn't matter anymore due to the fact that I have to discontinue it since I don't want to go bald due to the demon pill. Now I get to look forward to the withdrawal symptoms...can't wait.
vampira I’m so sorry this has been happening to you :( I really am. All I can suggest is that you research the withdrawals as much as possible and get ready for the symptoms. Hopefully they can find something else to put you on right? Xxx
@@speakyourmindm.h5794 Thank you. I already know what I'm going to experience with the brain zaps because I experienced those after suddenly discontinuing Paxil. Were you able to find a medication that helped you? I'm about to watch the second half of your video so forgive me if you already answered that question.
vampira so I’m on citalopram now!! I didn’t have any terrible side effects going on them, and they work amazingly now! I have a video on it from when I started taking it!! X
@@speakyourmindm.h5794 That's great that you found something that worked. 😊 Celexa didn't work for me unfortunately. Thank you for sharing your story. It helps to know you are not alone.
Do it slowly .dont crash to the bottom dont trust doctors ever
You should count the beads and then take away 5% every couple of weeks go slow . The capsules have a difference of 20 beads in each capsules . So count first then take away .
I had intense brain zaps too when coming off the same meds.
It was pretty scary on a few occasions cause it felt like I was stuck in them, and my girlfriend at the time said it just looked like I fell asleep, but in my head it felt like I was screaming for help.
DKruNEye that’s horrific I’m genuinely sorry you went through that, I don’t wish those feelings on anyone. I’m can fortunately say I didn’t have any as bad as that, but I thought mine were horrific so I can’t imagine what yours felt like. Good on you for powering through, I hope your mental health journey is continuing well 🤞🏻💪🏻
Thus far I haven't had any significant side affect other than pain relief which I gradually identified in regards to my back.
Surgery had been recommended by three doctors. A surgery I didn't want I am carefully monitored by my doctor and hope when I want or need to come off, My doctors will assist me on carefully weaning me off
Drugs will have terrible side affects on us as we seek relief from pain, it causes us others.. It's a horrible penalty for trying to live a productive pain free existence...I pray that I don't have to go through to hell to come off of them!
Everytime I explain these fked up brain zaps my doctor just looks at me like I’m just making it up
I hate the anxiety attacks
I feel like I can’t breathe
They choose to act dumb. Trust me, they know exactly what they are !
I'm so sorry to hear that you feel like this, is there any way you could see a different DR? If so, keep seeing new DRS until you find one who believes you!
Omg. The brain zaps are crazy. I am 4 days post 30mgs. I am not turning back tho
@Leslie Holland. I heard Benadryl can help when you experiencing the horrible symptoms after stopping ssri poison..check with the pharmacist....I am on detox from cipralex= poison..Good luck
I used to get the brain zaps when I came off from antidepressants too fast, I had to slowly cut my dosages down to in myself off from the prescriptions to avoid brain zaps
I'm the worse to be given medication... I fear fear fear everything. . . I did try 8 types and was way messed up. I got Brain Zaps on Buspar and some Tricyclic ... but now I'm given Cymbalta and I'm PSTD about medications ... I fear missing a dose ... i can't handle mental drops ... not as strong as you all
I'm so sorry to hear this Jasper :( I can understand the anxiety about missing doses etc. You are as strong as me, just in a different way!
I am starting with it but staying with 30mg instead as adviced raising to 60mg. My side effects are as far as I could tell is more headaches (one of the reasons why i am taking it) heat and a unpleasant bodyload after one and half week of consumption. If the sideeffects are only in the beginning and one horrible week at the end and in between it reduces anxiety stressattacks etc I think it would I would pay the price. .
Eflodur it sounds like you’ve weighed up your pros and cons really well and are really self aware which is so important! As long as you are aware of any drastic changes it sounds like you’re making a good decision! Keep us updated ♥️♥️
Just be ready the aggression and fog will be back . Because meds are there to cover problems you don’t want to deal with. If you don’t find a root of the problem - you gonna need it again. Good video- all true Thank you !!! You will see the difference in few months. Let us now
Thank you for this video, my doctor has prescribed me this along with about 3 other drugs and was so undecided whether to take this or not (had a server reaction to a different prescribed drug) and now scared to try new things. Thank you for making this choice easier! I hope things get easier for you soon hun X
Hi Stepanie! thanks for your comment - what did you decide to do in the end? I'm now on citalopram and really liking it!
Speak your mind M.h I didn't take it in the end I find that with my conditions the prescriptions don't ever stop the pain completly and give me side effects so there's not much point. Thanks again x
Well done on getting off it!
I really liked how you explained your experience with it, It's been helpful to me and I hope that more people would watch this video before starting this drug.
I've been dealing with chronic pain for 3 years now, which led to some really bad issues and the doctors were hopeless in my situation, the long waiting time for the pain clinic appointments is frustrating, especially if you are hoping that a certain procedure would be a life changer..
Hence why my GP being out of options wanted me to try this one however now I am a bit reluctant after doing some research about its side effects.
Hi Patryk, thanks for commenting it always means a lot to me!
I'd actually love to talk to you about your chronic pain - I too suffered from chronic pain for about 5/6 years which is why the doctor actually originally put me on this medication - I'd like to do a vlog about chronic pain being linked to mental illness, if you'd like to chat please email me at; speakyourmindm.h@gmail.com
I was prescribed this last month. 2 people said it helped, and 200 said "avoid at all cost". I'm afraid to even try it
I've never recovered from this drug i only took 9 30mg pills for 9 days. My body is still numb.
I feel you. Its hell.
My doctor prescribed it to me for neuropathic pain in my feet and legs but I am undecided as to whether I will fill the prescription and take the medicine. Only other options are Lyrica and Neurontin and I have heard their side effects are just as terrible.
As someone who had horrible chronic pain it works incredible. Took 2 months for the pain relief to kick in fully but it did happen. Give it a shot
I wish I made some research too! I must say, back then I just read about this nightmare on some forum from Germany (where I live)...I still thought it must be me beeing weak or not doing it right. I´m realising now how many people in the world have been through this! Sorry if it sounds scary, but the worst part for me was the last step: from 2-3mg (if I remember right!) to 0. It took months! The doctor had no clue how hard it would be. He just apologized and gave me the next pill. I am still disgusted.
Thank you SO much for your comment - it's both soothing and terrifying knowing that so many other people have been through this. I agree, the doctors were SO sure there would be no side effects or withdrawal. Disgusted is definitely the word... so many of our fellow mental health warriors will be going through this same thing right now :(
I was just prescribed this drug and pick it up tomorrow. However, I have already decided I will not be taking it and will tell the pharmacist to re-shelve it. Your video is one of MANY that convinced me not to take Cymbalta. My doctor told me nothing about side effects or the risks of getting off it. I am seriously pissed about this and no longer trust this doctor at all.
When you first start taking any antidepressant for the first two weeks, you experience the side effects first and then after two weeks they go away
then slowly a couple more weeks you start to feel the therapeutic effects. It takes a week or two to get over the side effects that hit first…. but your body does adjust and they do go away.
It is also very important to start off on a low dose and then slowly increase …after the side effects go away and you will experience side effects again with the slight increases - but not as bad and for not as long.
more of something is not necessarily better. 100 mg of Cymbalta is not therapeutic. studies have shown anything over 60 mg of Cymbalta doesn’t affect any more than 60mg. That is the threshold. studies have shown that all you’re gonna get is more side effects.
One should start with 20 or 30 and be on that for a couple weeks before you even consider increasing …because it takes a while before the therapeutic effects even take place
Must give it time. That goes for any SSRI or SNRI
brain zaps feel like an actual vibration of the physical brain.. I still get them from prior medications
They’re horrible aren’t they :( I’ve never experienced anything like it
Hi thank you so much for your video. Did you put the beads back into the capsules? Thanks
I have a question..I have read that antidepressants can damage seritonin recepters..So when patients get off antidepressants..they r more depressed than ever and it never goes away.Has anyone read of this research?
Hey Anna! This definitely isn’t something I’ve heard of before, I know plenty of people who’ve come off of antidepressants and are living wonderful happy lives! I think it’s common for the withdrawals to increase the feeling of depression for a while, and then of course there’s always the chance of the person not doing well off of meds - however that doesn’t mean that it was the taking of the meds in the first place that caused that... does that make any sense? 😝 basically, I’d do a little more research on this, it’s not something I’ve heard of before but I don’t know it all 🤓😋
You look JUST like Ruth Madeley!! Wild.
I hope you're doing much better now!
I have been on 20mg daily of Duloxetine for the last three years for depression and OCD. I stupidly ran out out of my medication and missed three days. The first day I felt fine, on the second day I started feeling nauseous, but by the third day I felt horrendous! My entire body ached, my mood dropped, I felt hopeless and helpless, I had no appetite, suicidal ideation returned, it was hell! Once I restarted, within 6 hours or so a lot of these symptoms lifted. I have been on 10+ antidepressant medications over the years but never experienced side effects like that. I am also on a relatively low dose.
I’ve just started 20 mg. Have you gained weight whilst on it?
@@dunklekind Nope, in fact it’s the only antidepressants that hasn’t caused me to gain weight.
I’ve been on many SSRIs at low dosage and they’ve all managed to pack on weight. I am yo-yo ing with weight despite the fact that I gym nearly everyday and have a healthy diet.
Ive been on it for about a week now. I've had headaches almost everyday and down 11lbs. Other then that its been fine, but i switched from lexapro and tappered from it to cymbalta and im thinking i was still going through withdrawl from lexapro. Ill keep everything you said in mind, hoping to have a different experience, but time will tell. Thanks for sharing.
T. McKinney i hope you’re doing a little better now!!! Xxx
@T. McKinney, I was just prescribed Cymbalta today by my doc for anxiety. I’ve been doing a lot of research and not finding anything positive about this drug. Are you still taking this medication? What’s your experience been like? Thanks in advance.
I had a similar experience with Cymbalta....I currently still take it but I am scared to death to stop!
Mitchelle I'm so sorry to hear this, but I can completely understand why you're scared to stop!! If I could do it again, I would take some time off work, to ensure that I can withdraw in the comfort of my own home, and ensure that I'm ready for what the withdrawals might bring!! Keep us updated - and good luck
I just stopped taking them cold turkey because my rheumatologist never told me about the withdrawals. Your symptoms are the same as mine. However, the withdrawals have also made me suicidal. I've read that the withdrawals are similar to heroin withdrawals. Cymbalta is a horrible drug.
Marissa Ayon thanks so much for taking the time to comment Marissa! Yea I actually heard that too, about the withdrawals being similar to class a drug withdrawal - it’s horrible and it’s worrying that this drug is being given to people without the information about withdrawals 😓 I hope your journey gets better xxxx
@@speakyourmindm.h5794 greedy doctors without mercy. Sadists
I feel you! I had the exact thing happen....every single doctor I’ve ever seen says getting off shouldn’t be a big deal....BS! It took me 6 months to wean off and stop brain zaps
I hated the brain zaps. So disruptive. :(
I know I shouldn't be laughing 😂😂😂but omg! Why did I feel that when you said BS!!! I felt that in my soul!!😂😂😂 oh and I'm so happy you were able to beat the withdrawal but you just scared the crap out of me. Lol my doctor prescribed me this but I'm scared to take it
Right now I’m taking 50mg of duloxitone. I don’t want to get out of bed in the morning. Sleeping anywhere from 10 to twelve hours a day. Taking it for fibromyalgia and depression. I don’t know if I should keep taking them or tapper off.
Hi Big Sister! We have the same symptoms.
My doctor suggested it today. I see him in a month. Can you share your experience on cymbalta?
Video should be called "I burst out crying"
I'm starting for SAD and sever chronic pain. Wish me luck, never had luck with anti depressants.
Thank you for helping me decide NOT to take this. My doctor prescribed this for me. I never took the first pill and won't.
Hi , Thanks for sharing i am going thru the exact some thing as i speak which actiully brought me here after searching withdrawal symptoms, i felt that the meds has done wonders for me over the past 3 years , i dont feel as depressed and not so emotional and full of energy, but BUTT !! i havent had my meds due to not getting my new script for about 7 day's
geeeeeeez i feel so shitty like head and body zaps, dizzy nausiez body aces , i better get them tomorrow , just a Horrable thought that this meds does this to one !!!!!! i currently on 90mg for the last 3 years.
Hey Jaco, so you're going through a similar situation to me, accidentally going cold turkey and realising what a horrible impact it has on your body! I'm so sorry you're going through this, I wouldn't wish it on anyone! have you managed to get your meds yet? :)
@@speakyourmindm.h5794 yea thanks got them last night and took 90mg at 20:00 althou dr sed only take meds in the mornings i just wanted to get it back into my system... took another 90mg this morning feeling so much better today no dizzyniss headaces and blury vision..... lets see how this goes
Hi I am on these meds for about a month now and My anxiety has not got any better possibly worse! But I don't know If thats due to being out of work because of the virus or is it the side effects of it! I want to know exactly how you tapered of it please?. I am so happy for you! Also are you off meds completely now ? Lots of love xx
suzi _ hi! Thank you so much for commenting, and for doing your research - it’s so important! So it can take around 7 weeks for meds to properly kick in, perhaps wait a little longer and see? Or are you having any bad side effects? So I tapered off in the end by taking the beads out one by one (it was a very very long process!) are yours pills or are they in capsules? I’m now on citalopram and have been for a few years and it’s amazing - I have a video on it that I filmed a year ago!
You could play Barbra with eyes like that! Try a hello Dolly costume on and learn to lip sync and make some money singing Birthdays, Parties, etc. on the side. I think you’re lovely 😊 and I mean that in a truly respectable way. That hair color is PERFECT for your coloring too. Just a side note: when I was young I felt emotionally lost and empty and alone at times. I needed healthy friends and mentors. It was easier for me to go on meds. But I wasn’t messed up or faulty as much as young and unsure or bold and careless. It was difficult to moderate what was going on, BECAUSE I was young. You don’t have to have it all together. Stay away from bad influences and enjoy little ways that make you happy nd emotionally steady. Read the Bible, visit your elders, and pets and safe friends. Avoid extremes.you will be okay. Half or one benedryl tablet will stop a panic attack in its tracks. Coffee with sugar will give you courage and confidence in a pinch. You don’t need Pharma. You’re okay
I’ve just started duLoxetine I feel sleepy all the time and vision is blurry a little bit! I hope the withdrawals won’t be as bad…
basically you did get find out about the side effects because it was a withdrawal type of thing? How are you feeling now?
Yes, I feel drowsy ALL THE TIME!! Someone in the comments said take a B12 supplement to help.
@@jaelight9062 I hope it gets better soon how long has it been for you I stopped taking it It was bringing out trigggers
@@Blasianpower2 are you on some other medication now?
I feel for you, the fact you came on camera and talked about this is incredible. I honestly used to take Effexor, and then got switched to Cymbalta. I honestly have really bad headaches, and honestly a lot of the side effects most of the time.
I was given this for pain (20mg)..8 hours after 1st pill I got nausea and threw up..I slept good for 2 days..the 3rd day I could not sleep..headaches would come..nausea..constipation..huge anxiety..high sugar..high blood pressure..I lost weight because of the nausea..so I decided to get off of it..I regret it very much
The worse drug I've ever taken in my life, 4 months 30mgs, brain zaps. headache, dry mouth, weight gain , no appetite, insomnia, even tapering off it was awful , I'll never take anymore drug without investigating it. Took 5 weeks to get off of but the topping on the cake was waking up with my jaws hurting from clinching my teeth!
angela maxwell it sounds like you had such a similar time to me - especially with the jaw clenching!!!! I’m the same though - I will ALWAYS do my research for any other meds I take now!!!
@@speakyourmindm.h5794 Me to! They want to put me on Wellbutrin but don't think I want to do that one either!
angela maxwell I don’t know if you’ve looked into citalopram at all? That’s what I’m on now and it is doing wonders for me, the only side effects that really bother me are weight gain but that’s a small price to pay for how well my mental
Health has been since starting it!!!
@@speakyourmindm.h5794 I don't think I want to take anything right now because I think that other drugs still working on me,don't want to gain weight either, I feel better after a brisk walk!
angela maxwell that’s fair enough! Yes definitely keep trying little things, I find yoga and running help me no end! ❤️
I have been prescribed cymbalta a month ago and fearful taking it..everytime I planned on taking my daily pill I read something that scares me off it..grrrr
Hey Anna, I'm sorry to hear your going through this! When I was first put on medication I was too scared to take it for yearsssss, only about 5 years later did I actually start medication! I think it's really great that you're doing your research though - something I really wish I had done!! Of course I can't say Cymbalta will or won't work for you, there is no way of knowing if it will or won't and what effects it will have. However, if you are really feeling anxious about it - there are other medications! I am on citalopram now (I have a vlog on that too) and I had no side effects and it works really well for me! You should maybe think about going back and talking to whoever prescribed you the Cymbalta and see what they say? Sending you good vibes!
This is where I'm at the moment...
Unfortunately these side effects are very common for most antidepressants. I was on it for 3 years and quit cold turkey in May 2020. I researched and bought vitamins and herbs to support the process. I didn’t taper off because the horror stories were bad no matter what so I figured I’d get them out of my system as soon as possible. The worst side effect was the brain zaps and the return of the pain. It also takes hardening your mind and just accepting that the side effects wouldn’t be very good. The pain was debilitating. I think by brain had a hyper reaction to it because the pain receptors had been suppressed for such a long time. I suffered from emotional flattening and had no sense of urgency on Cymbalta. I wanted off of them as quickly as possible. The irritation does wear off as your body gets used to being off of them. Quitting Cymbalta was the best decision I ever made, starting them was the worst.
How long did the withdrawal symptoms take
@@ytclappie8329 Not long to be honest. About 2 months maybe. But the side effects came in slow stages and not all at one time. I didn’t keep a diary, mostly because they were more annoying than debilitating. I had some nausea, sweating, difficulty sleeping, brain zaps, headaches, muscle, joint aches and pain. The physical pain returning with a vengeance was the worst of it. The brain zaps were super annoying. I was in bed for more than a weak and could barely walk when the pain returned seemingly out of nowhere. I’m convinced this drug numbs neural pathways to the point where your body forgets not just how to feel pain but how to manage pain. I’m managing the pain fine now with occasional Chiro treatments, Tylenol and motrin. It’s a trade off, but the side effects I had being on Cymbalta are far worse than being off of it. I had no sense of urgency about anything, I felt numb and emotionally flat. I had issues with sleep, memory, focus, and concentration.Had trouble focusing on anything and staying motivated. I had 2 shades in my emotions, black or white, no color and no shades of grey. I guess the plus is that it didn’t effect my appetite like many antidepressants so my weight stayed normal.
Thank you for sharing it's what I'm going through now myself I'm not at the point of counting the beads put the brain zaps just by missing a day or two again thank you for your time in God's name amen
Cymbalta generic Duxloxetine for me, helped with MDD, GAD, FIBRO, Cervical/spinal stenosis. 60 mg for almost 2 years. In 4 days my anxiety was gone on 30 mg. I made the mistake to start in the evening and yes, I couldn't sleep. So, in the AM first thing. This medication has side effects. For me Bruxism (teeth grinding). I split 1 tooth and 2 molars. Use a mouth guard. I was doing invisalign and that stopped me ruining my perfect teeth. Vit. B 12 depletion. You have to take this immediately with Cymbalta or you will be exhausted. I could have been ok with just 30mg Duloxetine. I had zaps only because I ran out. For me it has helped me get back to work with 24/7 chronic pain with Fibro and stenosis. It is hit and miss because everyone's chemistry is different. I am not working now and will go back on them when I do go back.
Jerrie Bryant I’m so sorry to hear that you’ve been through some stuff! I totally agree, each medication is totally different for every person. Like I say, this is just my story and it’s here for people who want to research and hear about other people’s experiences!
I hope you get back to work and your journey carries on in a positive way! ☺️❤️
Any hair loss or weight gain? I was prescribed for knee OA pain am scared to take.
I was on duloxetine for 4 months for neuropathic pain. It didnt work. Now ive been tapering for 2 months, worst experience ever. Brain zaps, nausea, diahrea. Doctor never advised me of how to taper, i tried to quit to fast and was a disaster. My locum doctor gave me a schedule for tapering , 1 day off for a few weeks then 2 days off 1 day on. After 2nd day i get brain zaps ,nausea, diahrea. Worst dgug ivef ever taken.
An important reminder for anyone starting an antidepressant is to take the medication as prescribed. Unless I’m misunderstanding, your symptoms were a result of missing doses and not tapering off the medication correctly. I empathize with your struggle of course. Maybe more awareness is needed as to how important it is to be consistent when taking antidepressants because even missing just one dose can result in some of the symptoms you described in this video.
Well honey you don’t just go cold turkey , it’s so dangerous. Yap when I was getting off it was bad bad bad and I did it slowly. But the actual medication works . Got to do your research. I am off since may, feel like I should go back. But thinking really hard just because of withdrawal. But it’s like getting of heroin . Takes good 3 weeks not one week
Doctors know about the side effects, you have to weigh the benefits vs the side effects before taking a medication.
They just prescribed to me yesterday, but check already the side effects, and I'm not gone to take not even one ! I afraid to become addicted to Cymbalta.
I had soloft for depresion,panic attack
And Elabil for insomnia and it works and is not addictive.
So I going to call my doctor to prescribe me the last medicines I mensioned,I had this one in 2002 to 2011,and I didn't had side effects.
Took my 1st cymbalta pill yesterday and I thought I was going to die... had horrible symptoms. Couldn't focus on one object, felt dizzy, Vomit, hands where shaking... omg!!!
It was sacry... I don't think I will continue with this medication.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Yodalys Vasquez i took my first one today and felt like i was gonna die throwin up
@@thebougiewitch7990 omg 😭😭😭
You are extremely similiar looking to Mikheila Peterson. Like a clone :O
I took Cymbalta 120mg for 2 months...My anxiety symptoms were totally gone but my depression is almost the same as before...I had the same symptom I couldnt sleep well, so my doctor told me to take Deprevix 75 + 75mg in the morning and in the evening...I hope it will be better with my new pill...
Hi George! I really hope it's better for you with this new pill, however if your depression hasn't changed at all perhaps you could try non-medicated things to help? Maybe a new exercise regime, start some yoga or mindfulness, look at your diet etc! if these things don't work perhaps it's time to try another pill that could help both your anxiety and depression? carla xxx
It took 4 weeks before I started feeling anything. 6 weeks in they bumped me up from 30 to 60mg. I am in less pain and have minimal burst of happiness. We shall see
How is it now?
@@jademanuella3986 better but nothing there yet bumping up 20 mg more so 80
I’ve been offered Duloxetine multiple times by the NHS for my pain condition and it’s reviews like this that put me off.
I had a very similar situation with Paroxetine (another SSRI). My existence was like the scene in Trainspotting with the baby on the ceiling. It was horrific.
Brain zaps like crazy
Flu type symptoms early on
Emotional rollercoaster
Mental fog
Increased suicidal thoughts
On edge
Unpleasant dreams
Yawning
Farting like a beast
Increased anxiety
I seem to have a negative reaction to many of them.
Hey Rich, I was actually on Paroxetine too, I absolutely hated it. I had hallucinations, could hardly open my eyes, zombie like, suicidal, just in general put me in a really bad place. I'm actually on Citalopram now and it's working wonders for me, I had no symptoms at all when I first went on it. I actually have a vlog about it if you'd be interested? ruclips.net/video/gNSpe12JWkQ/видео.html
Rich , is that all ?
Worse med i ever took and it was just 1! Puking 5 hours later like hell
did you eat with it?? I just took mine with food and now im really scared itll make me sick
Came across your vid before i take medication very informative
Not trying to detract from this report or to discount the tough experience in this individual case. Not every body reacts the same to a particular substance. But I do need to stress: don't quit cold turkey and don't run out of medicine. Read the info sheet. Taking SNRIs is a serious decision and you need to treat it as such. Also, tapering off by opening the capsule, counting the beads etc. is nonsense! There's a reason why this stuff comes in a capsule, they don't do that for fun or because it looks nice or whatever. Opening the capsule leads to your gastrointensinal system destroying the substance which basically makes it a cold turkey withdrawal. And be careful with your "research" ... the majority of reports you will find are extremely negative, because nobody goes out of their way to tell you that they actually have nothing to say. Imagine working in customer support. You're dealing with complaints. Nobody is gonna call you to tell you that everything's just fine. Does that mean that all your customers have issues or hate the product? Keep that in mind.
Honigdachs thanks so much for your comment, all totally valid points - just here to try and help others in similar tough situations, helping people with their own ‘research’ 😊
Thank you for this comment and for common sense! I have been on Cymbalta for over two months and I feel that it saved my life. It is painful to hear all those horror stories because they prevent me from enjoying my anxiety-free state. People warn me that my idyll will end soon and that Cymbalta will stop working and that I will go through horrible withdrawals. Are they jealous that I am healthy and fine on this med? Thanks for reassuring me with this comment!
@@MegPatyczakPlowman Hey Marta! It's been 16 months for me now. My experience is that after 6 months or so, it started really changing things for me, and I felt even better. I'm doing so much stuff I was previously not able to, I'm enjoying life a lot more and people around me are noticing a significantly different vibe about my personality, very much to the positive. I feel I can be myself.
It seems that once you've given the medicine some time to really get going, you are suddenly much more able to build upon that with your own lifestyle and thinking. It's a double effect. Your perspective starts to change, which in turn lets you have many new positive experiences, and this confirmation effect in turn motivates you even more. Like an upward spiral.
So, if you're feeling good about it so far - please don't let anything drag you down. I've learned that people will often project their fears or insecurities on others. And it's not even because they're trying to be mean - it has more to do with themselves than us. It's a fact of life we need to deal with. And often times it shows exactly when you start having something going for you.
The way I see it, meds allow you to finally get off that constant "dark wave", but then it's up to you how much you make of your new-found freedom. So stay positive, go for it and be happy as much as you can, as often as possible. All the best :)
@@honigdachs. I cannot express it better! It is exactly as you say. And yes, I do agree that people are not mean but they simply project on others their own frustrations. Thank you once again for the positive vibes and wish you all the best! :)
Ok this does it! I was given Duloxetine about 3 days ago, my sister threw a fit when she found out I was given it. She is a nurse. I looked at several one line complaints about this med and your video sealed the deal if I should take it or not. I am not going to take this medication. I only found one video stating how this drug has helped them and the rest say NO NO NO! So know that your video has helped someone. Thanks for you post and my God bless you many many times over. There is no telling how many lives you are going to save with this video.
Arbear64 thank you SO much for taking the time to leave a message - I’m so sorry that you’re going through some stuff, I hope that you’ve found something else to help you on your journey ❤️❤️❤️
I won’t take it either for chronic pain but from personal use and experience not from social contagion and placebo from social constructs. Lol 😂 the world is a joke
I took 30mg for one day I felt horrible I threw the entire bottle in the garbage I was nauseous diarrhea and headaches I don’t trust doctors
@Diana Monair. ssri antidepressants are all poison,,,
Doctors want me to go in this but from what I read all these meds look dangerous.
My doctor suggested cymbalta today. I see him in a month. I’m not going to take it.
I feel that electricity flow in the back of my head. How are you now?
this is normal and they were working for you.. withdraw is normal
Thanks for the video and for sharing your personal experience.
I have been on in for a week, I do not want to take it anymore. weird feelings...too many things to list about side effects and I get Vivitrol injections.
I finally quit taking it the headaches the constipation and the blurry dizziness and everything that goes with it it’s a very bad medication
Jimmy Robinson I agree 😓 unfortunately there are so many of us in this situation. And finding the right meds can be such a horrible journey 😰 I really wish you well and hope you find peace! ❤️❤️❤️

Because i didn't get it... How dou you feel after weaning off?
Can you talk more about your chronic pain and where it was located I’ve had chronic muscle pain for 4 years and I get a flare ups every now and then
anyone noticed with duloxetine you feel like you've taken an energy drink made me feel manic and I couldn't sit still in the day time talking fast at times as well
