is anyone on that could help me?

I don't take cymbalta. If you just suddenly stopped Celexa it can make you worse for a while since Cymbalta takes a while for it to work. Common side affects are naseau, dry mouth, fatigue, decreased appetite, sleepiness, and increased sweating.

cymbalta is in the same class as effexor, which i am on. the only side effect that i have had is that sometimes i can't sleep, and i have had a decreased appetite and weight loss. also i have become increasingly irritable, but im not so sure that that is the medicine. other than that, it seems to be working better than any SSRI, i'm just waiting to up my dose.

i take it..i like it. my only SE at first was kinda drowsy. but that went away quick. u really can't judge by others experience with any med..as we're all different in how we respond. what works for me..may not for u.
i hope it works as well for u as it has me. xoxo Di

I started it about 2 weeks ago...i dont feel any diffrent yet but like they say it takes a couple weeks to kick in...
I do notice I am very tired after a couple hrs but if i take it b4 bed i have trouble staying asleep...If i dont feel any results by my next appt on may 25th i will see if i can change

I have been on it since December 06 and I am doing well.

I was on Cymbalta and it worked wonderfully for me. For the first time in about 15 years I felt like I did back before the depression. Unfortunately, when he increased the dosage to 60 mg, I stopped urinating so they had to take me off of it. It is a very rare side effect or so the pharmacist told me.

I have been taking Cymbalta along with Tegretol, but at first just took Cymbalta. It lowered my appetite, (which for me was a good thing) but also made me anxious (started rocking myself and biting the ends of my fingers while online!!) and I have had more night sweats (some from premenopause) www.webMD.com (at the bottom of the page, look under "drugs A-Z) and www.drugs.com are both good websites for drug info.

I started it almost 3 weeks ago and it has helped me a lot. Although I have been waking up a lot in the night. But my depression seems a LOT better.

I have been taking Cymbalta for 6 weeks. I feel so much better. Side effects have been dry mouth and loss of appetite. I have lost 16 pounds, but I am not complaining.
