| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR CYMBALTA | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 2 | depression, fibromyalgia | serious brain fog, careless, carefree, zombie type, laziness - mainly the symptoms from Fibromyalgia in regard to not completing task or alertness got worse. | This drug is good if one wants to be feelingless. There is improvement in depression primarily is due to no presence of mind, body or soul. Does not help with the pain. I will continue to take it for another four weeks and than see if the side effects go away. I did try 60ml for two days and my mind could not handle it - back to 30mg. | M | 49 | 33 days | 4/28/2009 | 2 | depression / anxiety | Prickling feeling in arms, hands, legs. Flush. | I just took my first 30mg does of Cymbalta about an hour ago after my doc gave me some samples. Should have read these posts first. So concerned by the overwheliming negative comments on both this site and others on the web relating to Cymbalta use. I have mild depression/anxiety and have been on either Lexapro or Prozac for a number of years. This drug does not appear to be worth the troubles. Just hope the one 30mg dose does not result in the harsh reported withdrawals. Prozac was difficult enough to get off of. | M | 32 | 1 days | 6/30/2008 | 2 | Depression | Constipation, get some strange feeling in the head at times like nothing ever experienced, fatigue, weight gain. | I have given this drug an adequate trial time and I feel that it has not helped my depression. It has mellowed me but this is not what I want. | M | 55 | 6 months | 10/27/2008 | 2 | depression | tense muscles, lack of appetite, general apathy, lack of enjoyment of life in general. | the reviews seem to point to Cymbalta being one of the more problematic depression meds. | M | 49 | 40 days | 7/8/2008 | 2 | depression/anxiety/BPD | sleepy during the day and waking up and night. However, no dreams at all. That was good becuase all my dreams are bad. I have no motivation and feel tired during the day. Delayed ejaculation. | I really think that it is cool that my bad dreams have gone away. but the side effects are really bad. first i took 60mg and was so sweaty and sleepless. Still sleepless even on 20mg day three. I am trying to finish my second to last semester of college and Im not doing well. I was on wellbutrin for about 3 weeks and I had lots of energy, yet my emotions were a little wierd, anger and some crying. I was sleeping well with wellbutrin which I thought was impossible with my insomnia. I take 900mg of Neurontin 10mg sonata 30 mg of Tamazapam, and 1.5 mg of Clonipin. Im not sure what to do. | M | 34 | 3 days | 5/21/2008 | 2 | depression, anxiety | vivid, unpleasant dreams. some insomnia. constipation. | i liked the slightly manic energy boost, but it didn't help much with depression. made me even more anxious. | M | 53 | 30 days | 5/26/2008 | 2 | Depression | fatigue, sleepiness, trouble concentrating, foggy thinking (all at 60 mg dose). No side effects at 30 mg but that dose didn't help my depression much. | Not very effective at depression for me. I've been switched to Wellbutrin. Depression got worse when I was tapering off Cymbalta. | M | 40 | 6 months | 7/19/2008 | 2 | Depession | Lots of anxiety | not sure about taking it anymore | M | 57 | 10 days | 2/14/2009 | 2 | depression/anxiety | mainly weight gain 10 lbs and nausia...but i stopped taking 60mg dose (no doctor orders) because I thought I felt much better, then about 5 days later i had severe joint and muscle pain that lasted 48hrs...not going to touch the stuff again... | it did help with my anxiety and hyperhidrosis (palms) but the severe withdrawal pains are not worth it...I will just have to carry a hanky to dry the hands... | M | 33 | 90 days | 11/24/2008 | 2 | depression / anxiety | yawning, fatigue, itchy mouth, harder to breathe, tingling sensation in limbs, sexual weirdness (not in a good way) | I think perhaps I was having a allergic reaction. If anything, it made my mood worse. Definitely not for me. | M | 37 | 1 months | 12/14/2008 | 2 | Depression | Nausea, dizzy, fatigue, | Started with 60mg/day, wow, too much, went to 30mg/day,not as bad, but after I have read about withdrawl try to stop taking it I'm thinking of stopping now. Since the prescription cost $232.00 though I don't want to waste it. All in all it sounds like a pretty scary way to trade-in depression. | M | 52 | 7 days | 3/2/2008 | 2 | Anxiety, fatigue, headaches | Significant brain fog, memory loss in short term, trouble ejaculating, dry mouth | I tried taking Cymbalta after Effexor had worked but had major sexual side effects. Cymbalta lowered my libido, and caused me to have problems not being able to ejaculate, but unlike Effexor, I guess at least I could get an erection. The biggest problem was brain fog. While on this drug, I forgot a breakfast I was supposed to go to, started driving to work when I was supposed to go the doctor, left my wallet in the car, and numerous times started sentences only to lose my train of thought. Really not confident speaking in public. Had to take this medicine at about dinnertime, then took Clonazepam to sleep. Not an awful medicine, just didn't work for me as I wasn't mentally sharp like with Effexor. | M | 35 | 16 days | 2/9/2008 | 2 | Anxiety & Depression | It's around 5am and I just had a case of vomiting. Obviously I'm experiencing Nausea, NO sleep, Weakness in limbs... | I have M.S. and am currently on other medications as well. (i.e., Ibuprofin, Avonex Injection once per week, Lexapro. There were some other comments that stated it might take a couple of weeks to adjust within my system...unfortunately I can't do that to my body again. Does anyone have any advice? Thank you in advance, jm | M | 42 | 2 days | 9/7/2007 | 2 | ocd anxiety | vivid dreams | didn't do anything for my anxiety | M | 21 | 40 days | 10/31/2008 | 2 | Dpression | a little sleepy the first week | i've been taking 60mg of cymbalta for about two months, and am surprised by all the very negatvie and very poitive comments. So far i have felt nothing, i had been smoking pot for awhile, and i think that could be a reason i'm not feeling any affects, i've stopped smoking for about two weeks now, and am going to wait to see if i feel anything yet. I don't see how so many people could be impacted by it, while i feel absolutley nothing. If anyone has any similar experiences or suggestions i would love an email, cause i'm not sure what to do here. | M | 17 | 2 months | 11/6/2007 | 2 | GAD | Tiredness, Insomnia, Listless, Unmotivated, Cloudy thoughts. | I was only on the medicine for about a week before I couldn't deal with the side effects any longer. I didn't find it too hard to stop taking it at that short amount of time at least. Plus, the medication was a lot more expensive on my current medical plan than most others. | M | 7 days | 10/17/2007 | 2 | Anxiety/Depression | Memory loss,Disoriented,Sluggish,Short attention span,Muscle pain,And short temper | Started out great.After three weeks it changed my personality for the worse!! | M | 30 | 100 days | 6/16/2007 | 2 | Depression | Vomited the first time. Severe nausea for one week. Jaw clenching for 2 weeks; annoying yawning for 2 weeks. Severe insomnia which didn't wear off. Impotence for 2 weeks; now just ejaculatory failure. Inability to concentrate. | I took Cymbalta having not been on any meds for a year and a half. I was clinically stable. Cymbalta caused a clinical worsening and didn't improve any of my symptoms of depression. | M | 23 | 5 weeks | 5/17/2007 | 2 | major depression disorder | serious insomnia bloating, gas, serious diarrhea after chnaging to 60mg. | No dperession change, almost three weeks in. 1 week at 30 mg, weeks 2-3 60 mg. Insomnia and diarrehea have made me so tired I'm going backwards. Cymbalta was added for the "black cloud" after Adderall actually fixed adult ADD. Dr. says to keep taking. | M | 60 | 20 days | 5/9/2007 | 2 | Depresion | Ninguno de consideracion | No ha mejorado mi depresion | M | 35 | 3 months | 7/21/2007 |
