Q: What are the side effects of drinking alcohol when taking 30mg of cymbalta?
I have been perscribed cymbalta for mild depression , I am a social drinker . I may drink 2 or 3 beers on occasion when we go out with our friends once or twice a month. I was wanting to know how drinking like that would effect the medication.
A: When you get your medicine from the pharmacy, there is an insert in the box that tells you all about the medicine. Read it! In fact, pharmacies have been sending out extra warnings about it. Cymbalta is a very potent antidepressant and can have many side effects, one being sleepiness, another dizziness for ex. There is a warning not to drink for a reason. Alcohol can potentiate any (or all) of the side effects. And just because it didn’t once, doesn’t mean it won’t happen the next time. Also, alcohol is a DEPPRESANT and you are undoing what you are trying to fix!! It is best to avoid it. Stick with acohol-free beer–no one will even know.
Q: How do you get through Cymbalta withdrawal?
Has anyone dealt with Cymbalta (antidepressant) withdrawal? I am going through heck right due withdrawal symptoms of Cymbalta. Does anyone have any ideas on how to make the withdrawal side effects easier? i cannot even function because of the way i am feeling. Any ideas?
A: I went through hell when i was on cymbalta 30mg, i only perservered for 3 weeks. I was also taking topamax at 50mg for 4 weeks. It’s been 3 months and i am notthe same person. I now have a tremor which hasnt eased and i am always restless and agitated, as well as only sleeping 5 hours a nite, i also get muscle twitching all over. I still feel suicidal and have never had feelings like this before prior to taking these meds. I had taken ssri’s for many years without any adverse effects. For agitation i use “relaxation tea” which has skullcap, camomile and valerian to calm the nerves. I also use restavit an antihistamine which also helps with sleep, but remember some ppl react adversly to antihistimines. Effexor kept me awake as well, but nothing compared to cymbalta
Q: How long do you feel sick when starting Cymbalta?
I just started taking cymbalta today, and I’m feeling very nauseous, I was wondering how long that side effect lasts?
A: It will probably vary – I don’t recall feeling sick when I started it but when I did, it was in conjunction with Wellbutrin and then slowly took the Wellbutrin away. If it doesn’t stop in a couple weeks, you might want to mention it to your doctor. Also, you might want to consider taking it at night – you might be able to sleep through the nausea then.
Good luck!
Q: Is it okay to take Cymbalta and Voltaren at the same time?
Cymbalta has brought about amazing positive results in my case. I have no bad side effects as with other antidepressants. However, I read that it should not be taken with antiinflamatory medications which I need also.
A: Ask your pharmacist, or just call a pharmacist in the phone book.Trust their answer or a doctors.
Q: i just stopped 30 mg of Cymbalta cold turkey, so how long will the withdrawal symptoms last?
I stopped 30 mg of Cymbalta cold turkey. I’ve been taking it for about 3 months. I’m experiencing dizziness and nausea. How long will the withdrawal symptoms last? Thanks in advance.
A: it will last until its out of your body, but it could last longer.
i wouldn’t stop it without your doctors permission because then the med. can be lowered and your body can get use to it.
Q: How long does it actually take for cymbalta to work?
I have been on cymbalta for six weeks, 4 of those weeks on 60 mgs. When I finally began to feel better, I had a big down, started coming up again and now I feel like crying.
A: I was on Cymbalta too. Had the same experience. My doctor put me on Wellbutrin XL 300mg along with Cymbalta 60mg. That helped the depression. I would tell your doctor. He may do a combination or change your meds all together. But this is common. Some meds work well for some and not so well for others.
Its trial and error until you find the right one for you. Email if you need more help.
Q: How long do Cymbalta withdrawl symptoms last?
Trying to stop Cymbalta after 2 years, Have brain shivers, nausea, tired and weak, cold then hot, shivering. How long can I expect this to last?
A: It is relatively fast metabolizing by today’s standards. It should be out of your system in 24 hours, but that’s when the release starts. Your brain has to reorganize itself, it has to learn to deal with living without the drug. Think of it like you and your wife get a milk shake at Bills Diner, every Friday for 35 years, But Bills suddenly closes. How do you live without that? You’ll have to find something to do Friday. That’s what your brain is doing. And that can take months.
Q: Has anyone had the experience of changing from Effexor-XR to Cymbalta? How did you find it?
I have been taking Effexor-XR (150mg daily) for some years, and my doctor has suggested that i swap over to Cymbalta. I suffer from chronic pain and am on morphine daily, but i’ve read that Cymbalta is also good for reducing pain. Any ideas?
A: Cymbalta can be good for pain, but only sertain types of pain, usually neuropathy from diabetes and it can only help some. It certainly will not have effects like you morphine. Effexor and Cymbalta are in the same class of anti-depressant, so there is a good chance of cymbalta working as well, but not a guarantee.
Q: How do I cope with dry mouth from Cymbalta?
Hi. I take Cymbalta for depression, and its main side effect is dry mouth. I know it can lead to severe dental problems if I don’t take care of it, but I’m not really sure what to do about it.
Does anyone have any advice to help me so my teeth don’t fall out or something?
A: cymbalta is Lilly’s replacement for Prozac when the patent for Prozac ran out.
Cymbalta acts much like Prozac does but carries a much higher risk of liver damage. I would ask your doctor to switch you to a more liver friendly drug, never mind about dry mouth.
Q: Have you tried both cymbalta and paxil? What was the effect your weight?
I am currently on paxil and just gained a bunch of weight but I feel good. My doctor mentioned cymbalta. What we your experience on that in terms of your weight?
A: I have been on cymbalta for a year and a half now…and honestly when I first started taking it I thought it was the best ever! But, almost 2 years later I’m seeing my symptoms return. I haven’t noticed any weight gain or weight loss with just cymblata I am also on adderall so yeah I lost weight but cymbalta was not the reason. Another I noticed right away with cymblata is symptoms of RLS (restless leg syndrome) only when I am trying to rest and when I forget to take it I don’t have that problem. However, Cymbalta could act differently with you. Everyone’s body acts different to medications so it could be right for you.
Q: How long do withdrawal symptoms last when you stop taking Cymbalta?
I recently stopped taking Cymbalta (went from 60mgs. to 30mgs. then stopped altogether). It’s day 4 and I’m having withdrawals like “brain zaps”, electric charges, headache. It’s really affecting my ability to concentrate at work and makes me feel terrible. My doctor recommended that I start taking one every other day for another week and then stop again. Has anyone had a similar experience? Do I just need to wait out the withdrawals? How long do they last?
A: Instead of listening to any doctors, I have done my own “weaning.” I opened the capsule and took took out some of the medication. Each day, I try to take a smaller amount, but when I try to go down too fast, I am sick the next day. I get headaches, nausea, but the worse part is the dizziness. About 2-3 hours before it’s time to take the next pill, I start feeling dizzy again. But it’s something that I can handle. It has been about 10 days of “downsizing” my pill and tomorrow I am not going to take one. I know it’s going to make me sick even though I barely took anything today, but I’m not working tomorrow and I’m hoping to sleep it off.
I do not by any means recommend the every other day. You would essentially be going through detox on the even days and reintroducing the drug on the odd days. I just went through one day of detox and now I’m on my second. It’s awful, but there is no way, after going through the first day, that I would put the drug back into my system, just go through the detox again.
Good luck and don’t plan to do anything during detox. I stayed in bed all day yesterday and now I’m trying to work through it. Yesterday was worse than today and I’m sure tomorrow will be much better than today.
Q: Cymbalta, how long til I start coming down to eath?
I am on my 3rd day of Cymbalta, and I feel like I am on another planet! Have you got experience with this drug? I hate it, I want to be in control again!
A: Within 2 weeks the side effects went away, but then again your dose will probably be upped in 2 weeks so I’d say a month or so & you’ll be back to normal.

Q: How do you think i’ll react, switch from cymbalta to effexor tabs, anyone on that before?
Tomrrow or thursday, i’ll be switching from cymbalta 60mg to effexor. with cymbalta i have a twitch, and gained around 17 pounds. switching to effexor what do you think will happen? side effects? withdrawal? thanks
A: Effexor is VERY bad! I was on it and it made me become suicidal! It can also make manic episodes really bad! Id tell them to go pound salt if there going to change it on you the side effects are horrible!
Q: What has been your experience on cymbalta?
I was put on cymbalta for treatment of major depression 7 days ago. I have found it to be very helpful so far and am looking forward to more positive results. However I have noticed one thing in particular ( a possible side effect?) that I have a problem with… my labido has gone down the tubes. I was wondering what other peoples experiences were like with this drug?
A: That is a common side effect with SSRI’s like Cymbalta, Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, and others. Happens to me with Prozac. If it really bothers you, look into Wellbutrin. It does not have this side effect for most people.
