This can happen after first-time use. Any new substance will cause an over reaction in the body and mind. Have you tried it more than once? Did get any of the benefits the drug is supposed to have?
Thank you for making this video. It was easy for me to understand and throughly covered in areas of my concern. As a disabled USAF veteran, I take other medications as well. This video helped clear some things up for me. Thank you for your service. ❤
I took 1 pill so far and I've decided i don't need it. Doctor prescribed it for my nerve damage, I'd rather deal with pain... then deal with the potential of going crazy!
Don't forget that pain is not just a feeling. Pain is a sign of damage, so it's not simply a matter of willing pain away. Something is triggering inflammatory signals, which can cause periphery damage to surrounding body tissues. Pain also releases adrenalin and cortisol, which keeps eating at the body and nervous system, wearing out everything over time. Pain should not be tolerated for extensive periods, by toughing it out alone.
My doctor just prescribed me this. Sounds horrible. I believe I'll pass. Shame because these flare up are unbearable at times. I will be working on my health and weight
They are addicting. I got off effexor and had horrible side effects. It was the worse withdrawal ive ever experienced. And I am a recovering alcoholic/addict who has had serious withdrawals withdrawals before. Horrible ssni withdrawals. I was told its a little hard to get off of. What a crock!
That's not addiction though. It's dependency. You won't crave it when you get off of it. That's what addiction does. Dependency is what causes the withdrawals and cymbalta has one of the worst of them.
Took Lexapro for anxiety and it worked wonders for 4 years then stopped working. Started cymbalta a month ago. Went from 20mg all the way up to 120mg and it really hasn't helped much. Plus it's given me some of the worst insomnia I've ever had.
Hi Dr, I requested the Gene test you recommended and Cymbalta was on the green side. Now I understand why I couldn’t tolerate Ssri’s. I been on Cymbalta for the past week 20mg and now fist day on 30mg. I noticed less anxiety than Ssri’s so I hope this medication helps my anxiety, low mood and insomnia due to anxiety.
Hi! How are you doing on the cymbalta? The same thing came up for me on my genesight test I can’t tolerate ssris- same as you made me more anxious and no sleep, but says I can take cymbalta
@@mariannadayre9563 Hello! I quit Cymbalta due to worsen anxiety 😑 last year after 2 months of no improvements. I am now on 10mg of Prozac but I can’t go higher. I tried going up to 20mg but 8 weeks was enough of worsening anxiety. 10mg is not perfect but I’m less anxious and still having better days than others with mood. Hope Cymbalta works for you!!
But why come off of they are working without side effects? People try to get off medication when they feel better. So did I. But my brain just needs that extra boost to stay leveled. @@wellinever1558
I have fibromyalgia anxiety cfs i started this two weeks ago feel better more happier no depression feeling can feel less pain feel high a bit mood up and feel good more better days
I've had generalized itching over 98 percent of my body. Which is not dermatologically related. I was prescribed Cymbalta for a couple of years as a test to see if the itching was anxiety related. It sort of, kind of worked a little bit, but became contraindicated because of elevated liver function levels.
I was just diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 45. My doctor says she doesn't treat her patients with stimulants. She gave me cymbalta 120 mg. Will this help with me. I have have seen any videos on using cymbalta for ADHD on RUclips. I'm confused
@lindacannon5173 did you start them? I have anxiety because of my adhd too, and the doc prescribed me these since ssri aren't the right treatment for people with adhd 😊
Great video, just started duloxetine , and is it normal to see results in like 3 hours of first pill? It was like my brain fired up to like 1000? I was expecting it to kick in after a few weeks . Thank you for making this video

The administration of this toxic compound must be approached with extreme caution. The list of potential side effects is horrific and now, it is being stated, that there is no evidence of neurotransmitter imbalance in major depressive disorder. Cymbalta is very dangerous in withdrawal and no one is really sure how to plan such a regime safely. One has to wonder, after being on this poison for many years, i am left with myriad systemic pathologies, which have arisen due to the treatment based on an erroneous premise.
3 weeks in, I love it, I can't describe how much my mood has improved which is great because my hubby was just found to have cancer...but, my pain in my joints are gone, I'm not hungry 24/7. I'm getting insomnia but can sleep.
My wifes mother took her to a doctor when she is dealing with gadolinium poisoning from a MRI she had on 9/5/23. She is being treated with EDTA Chelation. After taking this meds just in a couple of days she became crazy delusional and had to be taken to the hospital by the police. I read that a person can become delusion as an side effect.
Hi, my name's Alex, I have Bipolar 1 and I take lithium, prozac, and loxapine. Could you please do a video on loxapine? There are not many videos about loxapine, even though it probably is more popular than most of the other first generation antipsychotics.

Worst Medication ever!! Took 3 days. Body was on fire, lost sense of taste, flared up my reflux very badly, sore throat. 3 weeks later still feeling these all, except body heat.
I take duloxitine at 180mg per day because that is the only dosage that works for me. No other side effects aside from heart rate of 110-115. Is this dangerous?
My brother takes this medication at 60mg dose a day, I will try & follow your advice on getting half & half = 40mg tablets & 20mg tablets, 20mg through the day, 40mg at night. Thank you 😊

My wife got worse under these. The very severe panic episodes calmed down some, but there was a trade off ! Basically turned into a foggy minded , low energy woman. Tapering down Now
I do not have a video on tapering antidepressants since there aren't any guidelines to this. The process is unique for each person. However, I could make a video explaining that and how I approach it. Thank you for the idea.
My psychatrist recommended duloxetine 30 for 5 day then uptaper to 60 + mirtazapine 30 mg per night mostly for burnout/insomnia/depression. I'm scared to take this shit though. With a half life of like 40 hours it seems like I'll be in for a bad *week* if the drug doesn't click. How are things in the morning after? how can they be good if you still have 90% of the dose coursing through your system?
Many thanks for your sharing. It is very simple and helpful. I am looking forward to see an video which specific drugs or combination therapy target to specific order such as Manic -depressive disorder (Manic phase) and your own experience and own opinion to see patient change. I watch an video which a psychiatrist explain why patient stop taking antidepressant. it is not because it doesn't work, the drugs work but it shift patient personality which patient aware and believe she is not herself anymore, so she quit to take the drugs.
Thank you for your insight. I think that is a good idea for future videos, perhaps presenting case studies could be beneficial to demonstrate how this works in the real world.
All of these medications are not recommended for long term use, although that is how they are typically ordered and used. I don’t like the idea that the other doctor would say if it isn’t effective it is not the drug that failed, but the patient. That is how I read your comment. It is very well known that no one drug works well for every patient.
Thank you for sharing the possible side effects. I wish doctors, psychiatrists and nurse practitioners were more knowledgeable on the longterm effects of Cymbalta discontinuation syndrome should you begin to taper off this awful medication.
Today is day 7 of duloxetine(cymbalta) for me. I have been over heating and sweating abnormal since i started. My rosacea has gone wild. I also feel heaviness and pressure on my neck and head. My brain feels tight , if that makes sense. My body pains aren't as bad , but idk. I feel like i have to think harder before i speak, i cant really concentrate. I was given this for fibromyalgia.
Cymbalta is terrible. It worked for the first 6 months and then slowly after 2.5 years of use it stopped working. I’m currently tapering to be off it completely.
It’s a mixed bag. I just started it a few days ago. My already bad insomnia is worse. I feel more constipated. I’m a little better mood. But not sure it’s worth it. I have spinal issues, Si joint pain, and my doctor thought this may help. Tingling in hands and foot common at all? Noticing this, not sure if it’s my back issues causing this instead?

@@NB-fe1wt I decided not going more than two days. I kept seeing so many negative side effects on you tube. I don’t know? Maybe I’ll try again. I felt off those few days. But understand it can get better in 2 weeks. Trying it out?

Will be thankful from Pakistan
What are the static shocks or buzzes in your head when waking up? Sometimes, I get them when I move my eyes or turn my head! I had them before and was told it happened because I stopped taking flueoxetine on my own. When I changed to duloxetine they went away again.. now after a year and a half I am starting to get them again!

I’d love to see a video w graphics on how exactly a “reputake inhibitor “ works. It almost sounds like the hormones are recycled and it stops that. I dunno! I love your videos.
Thank you. My illustration skills are poor, so I will try. However, think of reuptake as release so when you block (inhibit) the release (reuptake) of serotonin then the available serotonin will be increased. Hope that helps 😉
serotonin and numerous other neurochemicals are released into the synapse (the space between nerve cells to propagate signals between 2 neurons. All these chemicals are promplty removed from the synapse either by breaking them down or re-internalizing them back into the cell (like wiping the slate clean on a white board) the so they don't continue messaging endlessly. with an SSRI that re-uptake is partially blocked so the serotonin hangs around a bit longer spreading the signal.
i subscribe to your RUclips channel and watch all your videos, That being said I have a huge problem with your semantical use of "addiction.". Since my GP prescribed a Benzo(clonazrpam). and I didn't go on the street seeking out klonopin, I'm "dependent" on this drug, which is a "medication" since I received this pernicious DRUG from a pharmacy with a script.Now I hear"neurodependent" as another euphemism for addiction. To me(and most people I talk to) ANY drug where you go through withdrawal to get off is addictive. It frustrates me when doctors play with words when discussing any drug where withdrawal is involved in getting of these "addictive" drugs. If you have read this comment to it's end I thank you.
There's also a lot of negative connotation with the word addiction. What you ever you want to call it is fine, just as long as you realize you need help coming off these drugs is the point.
Mam serious question I'm from India my doc prescribed me duloxetine in tablet form but there are also capsule form which one is best cap or tablet form
Good thing, i lost weight on it, and i could tolerate it well under 60mg per Day, bad thing it has not any anti depressant action, even after 2 years of use,
@@Truerealism747 I’m broke a few bones in a motorcycle accidents. I was in a little pain. The doctor asked was I depressed. I said sure. Just destroyed my Harley Davidson. So he said take this drug , it’s also for pain. It increased my pain x 100. Then he prescribed opioids. Over 8 years he increased the opioids, OxyContin plus fentanyl. I ended up having emergency surgery for internal bleeding. Before the surgery I was taken off everything. I woke up and the pain was gone. Coming off the opioids was easy. But coming off Cymbalta was a nightmare. Im still suffer with the side effects after a year coming off it. I also lost a kidney to cancer 6 months ago. This drug is also apparently well known for destroy kidneys. I am now living with FND, functional neurological disorder as a side effect.
I have had extreme chronic fatigue for some time but realized maybe it’s because I’m taking 60mg cymbals in the morning. What is “semblance” so I can speak to my Doctor about taking a higher dose at night & a lower dose during the day. Also can cymbalta interact with concerta? I’m on it for adhd. My fatigue and depression right now is very bad. Thank you for your help!
Alcohol is a "depressant" for a totally different reason to why "antidepressants" are called antidepressants. Antidepressants are called this because they treat "Depression" whereas alcohol is a "depressant" because of its effects on the CNS and absolutely not because it makes someone "depressed". This one statement really makes me wonder if you are actually a medical professional or not
Best medication ever, I was on tramadol, my neurologist took me out of there and the bf back then said "you change from night to day" Now I take 120mg, Tegretol 800mg & Brintellix, magic, ayer 10 years of bad pain finally I can function a normal person, + some CBD oil for attacks & flares (hemiplegic attacks) Make a video about Tegretol, pleeeease! ❤️❤️❤️
como te fue? leo comentarios a ver si me animo volver a tomarlo, me cayo muy mal la primera vez,ahora empezare com dosis muy baja, un cuarto de la dosis minima....lo aumentare de a poco si no son tan fuertes los efectos adversos
Yes, true. But when you inhibit norepinephrine reuptake in the prefrontal cortex, where dopamine has great affinity towards, you then increase dopamine via the norepinephrine reuptake.
@@LevelheadedMind True. The prefrontal cortex lacks dopamine transporters, and dopamine is taken up by norepinephrine transporters in this region, but this is different from saying that duloxetine inhibits dopamine transporters as this would cause a more widespread elevation of dopamine in the brain.
Here's the answer: I've been on it for 15 years. No, it's not right for you. You will get stuck on it and unable to get off of it. The withdrawal is worse than benzo withdrawal. The last time I tried, It gave me severe akathisia and I wanted to die. Any benefit it may have at the beginning is not worth what it will do to you down the road... and no, tapering it slowly doesn't solve this. It reduces it some, but it still happens. Not to mention it only comes in 60mg, 30mg, and 20mg time released capsules so you can't really taper it slowly without breaking the capsules open and counting beads.

Is it good for chronic insomnia currently i am on amitriptyline 50mg
No, I haven't found it useful for insomnia.
Had headaches doctor was lazy and didn't try to diagnose and put me on this junk. Neck stretches help me in the end
So did the meds help you or no? Did you stop taking them?
Does it help with concentration issues? I got this from my doctor in Germany for anxiety and muscle pain
duloxetine heumann 30mg
In my experience it does not help with concentration. In fact I suspect it might contribute to being less able to be focused and present.

What are the static shocks or buzzes in your head when waking up? Sometimes, I get them when I move my eyes or turn my head! I had them before and was told it happened because I stopped taking flueoxetine on my own. When I changed to duloxetine they went away again.. now after a year and a half I am starting to get them again!
Thank You for your response!
Just started yesterday definitely feeling somewhat weird
Interested to know how you’re doing with it now. Also, have you been on any other antidepressants to compare your effects?
como te ha ido? como vas? leia experiencias porque estoy tomando coraje para volver a tomarlo en dosis bajisima...con temor porq la primera vez me cayo re mal
Hi I know someone who takes paxil for depression I want to know would it be for life?
It depends on how long they have been on it and how many episodes of depression they had.
I’d love to see a video w graphics on how exactly a “reputake inhibitor “ works.
It almost sounds like the hormones are recycled and it stops that. I dunno!
I love your videos.
Thank you. My illustration skills are poor, so I will try. However, think of reuptake as release so when you block (inhibit) the release (reuptake) of serotonin then the available serotonin will be increased.
Hope that helps 😉
serotonin and numerous other neurochemicals are released into the synapse (the space between nerve cells to propagate signals between 2 neurons. All these chemicals are promplty removed from the synapse either by breaking them down or re-internalizing them back into the cell (like wiping the slate clean on a white board) the so they don't continue messaging endlessly. with an SSRI that re-uptake is partially blocked so the serotonin hangs around a bit longer spreading the signal.
I have TRD and anxiety. How's does an snri help anxiety
It can worsen anxiety ad panic
thank you
i use gad
I wish my doctor would tell me how long I’m supposed to be on this medication? Do you take this the rest of your life?
I’ve read they stop having an effect for most people around year 3. 3 seems to be the number at least in all that I have read.
You didn't recommend it for Anxiety which is my major concern.
I have anxiety disorder and this is my doctor prescribed me and it works really good for me
@@maryadelacruz8640hey how many mg are you on? I have anxiety and doctor prescribed me 30mg daily. I’m hoping it helps
Thank you very much madam
You are most welcome, thank you for watching.
i subscribe to your RUclips channel and watch all your videos, That being said I have a huge problem with your
semantical use of "addiction.". Since my GP prescribed a Benzo(clonazrpam). and I didn't go on the street seeking out klonopin, I'm "dependent" on this drug, which is a "medication" since I received this pernicious DRUG from a pharmacy with a script.Now I hear"neurodependent" as another euphemism for addiction. To me(and most people I talk to) ANY drug where you go through
withdrawal to get off is addictive. It frustrates me when doctors play with words when discussing any drug where withdrawal is
involved in getting of these "addictive" drugs. If you have read this comment to it's end I thank you.
There's also a lot of negative connotation with the word addiction. What you ever you want to call it is fine, just as long as you realize you need help coming off these drugs is the point.
Been on duloxetine for years does nothing for pain 0
A million side effects. Any positives
asi es,he probado varios antidep.e ste este es el peor en efectos secundarios en mi experiencia
Mam serious question
I'm from India my doc prescribed me duloxetine in tablet form but there are also capsule form which one is best cap or tablet form
We only have capsule form here so I am not sure how to advise on the tablet form.
Alcohol usually clears the body in a few hours. Obviously you don't take Cymbalta and a glass of wine at the same time.
Just started this. Terrible suicidal ideation. No intention of acting on it but it’s still unpleasant.
Good thing, i lost weight on it, and i could tolerate it well under 60mg per Day, bad thing it has not any anti depressant action, even after 2 years of use,
Could I take duloxetine and setraline together as it setraline gives me headache?
How does it affect weight loss?
Made me put it on straight away so I stopped talking them
This is a evil drug. It’s caused my fibromyalgia. Took 8years of my life away.
It caused the fybromyalgia what were you taking it for
@@Truerealism747 I’m broke a few bones in a motorcycle accidents. I was in a little pain. The doctor asked was I depressed. I said sure. Just destroyed my Harley Davidson. So he said take this drug , it’s also for pain. It increased my pain x 100. Then he prescribed opioids. Over 8 years he increased the opioids, OxyContin plus fentanyl.
I ended up having emergency surgery for internal bleeding. Before the surgery I was taken off everything. I woke up and the pain was gone. Coming off the opioids was easy.
But coming off Cymbalta was a nightmare. Im still suffer with the side effects after a year coming off it. I also lost a kidney to cancer 6 months ago. This drug is also apparently well known for destroy kidneys.
I am now living with FND, functional neurological disorder as a side effect.
This med was terrible. It made me worse. Helped with my pain though. Hard to stop taking.
Passing urine will take long time is side effect.
I have had extreme chronic fatigue for some time but realized maybe it’s because I’m taking 60mg cymbals in the morning.
What is “semblance” so I can speak to my
Doctor about taking a higher dose at night & a lower dose during the day.
Also can cymbalta interact with concerta? I’m on it for adhd.
My fatigue and depression right now is very bad.
Thank you for your help!
Alcohol is a "depressant" for a totally different reason to why "antidepressants" are called antidepressants. Antidepressants are called this because they treat "Depression" whereas alcohol is a "depressant" because of its effects on the CNS and absolutely not because it makes someone "depressed". This one statement really makes me wonder if you are actually a medical professional or not
Don't use those freaking clicking noises....🤬
Best medication ever, I was on tramadol, my neurologist took me out of there and the bf back then said "you change from night to day"
Now I take 120mg, Tegretol 800mg & Brintellix, magic, ayer 10 years of bad pain finally I can function a normal person, + some CBD oil for attacks & flares (hemiplegic attacks)
Make a video about Tegretol, pleeeease! ❤️❤️❤️
I'm glad you found a treatment plan that works well for you. I will definitely consider a video on Tegretol, thank you.
Wait till it doesnt work anymore or when you need to get of. Be wise.
I took one capsule and couldn't sleep for 2 days and was dizzy for 3 days ,couldn't drive ,this is not for me
como te fue? leo comentarios a ver si me animo volver a tomarlo, me cayo muy mal la primera vez,ahora empezare com dosis muy baja, un cuarto de la dosis minima....lo aumentare de a poco si no son tan fuertes los efectos adversos
The ability of duloxetine to inhibit the dopamine reuptake pump is negligible.
Yes, true. But when you inhibit norepinephrine reuptake in the prefrontal cortex, where dopamine has great affinity towards, you then increase dopamine via the norepinephrine reuptake.
@@LevelheadedMind True. The prefrontal cortex lacks dopamine transporters, and dopamine is taken up by norepinephrine transporters in this region, but this is different from saying that duloxetine inhibits dopamine transporters as this would cause a more widespread elevation of dopamine in the brain.
Lol all the side effects are everything we are trying to get rid of.
Here's the answer: I've been on it for 15 years. No, it's not right for you. You will get stuck on it and unable to get off of it. The withdrawal is worse than benzo withdrawal. The last time I tried, It gave me severe akathisia and I wanted to die. Any benefit it may have at the beginning is not worth what it will do to you down the road... and no, tapering it slowly doesn't solve this. It reduces it some, but it still happens. Not to mention it only comes in 60mg, 30mg, and 20mg time released capsules so you can't really taper it slowly without breaking the capsules open and counting beads.
I saw results in 2 hours
Are you tually a doctor? Js
Does it cause sexual dysfunction?
It can.
Enjoy the more than horrible withdrawals! DO NOT TOUCH THIS
not talking it
Do something for someone else it will make you feel better.
Not even if you hold a gun to my head
gave me Akathisia and PSSD. Stay far away.
That snapping sound is awful.😂
Je peands combien par jour😅
