| 1 | muscle and back pain | I took only one caps on monday dinner time. The day after early morning I was really sicks with high blood pressure, watering a lot, cold fever, stomach cramps, very pale, in resume having the full list of side effects. My family was afraid, thinking that I was ready to pass. A doctor came in emergency and was able to reduce only few effects. I was exhaust all the day and very tired the days after. It happend 6 days ago but every morning I am still feeling few side effects. For myself this medecine is very dangerous and never I will take it again. Sorry for my comments but I am French. | M | 73 | 1 days 1X day | 12/17/2011 | 1 | family member for bipolar depression | alcohol cravings, mania | nausea, vomiting, horrific nightmares, insomnia, suicidal ideation, suffered psychotic breakdown and crashed car 7 days after abruptly stopping Cymbalta | M | 22 | 2 months 60mg 1X day | 9/2/2013 | 1 | depression/anxiety | Numb face, brain zaps, not knowing where i was, depression, anxiety, pretty much everything in the book | this stuff was poison for me, it didnt work at all what so ever and it took longer to get off of then to get on to. its a horrible drug, at least for me. | M | 20 | 3 weeks 150? 2X day | 11/29/2011 | 1 | pinched sciatic nerve&L.B.P. | NAUSEA NIGHT TERRORS WHEN I COULD SLEEP SUICIDAL AND HOMICIDAL THOUGHTS HORRIBLE WITHDRAWLS WORSE THAN TOLD. DOCTORS LIE LIKE HELL.ELI LILLY PAYS WELL DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG DANGER !DANGER! DANGER! | M | 56 | 10 days 30 1X day | 12/16/2011 | 1 | Bipolar I | Very sick the first days taking it. Continued with erectile dysfunction and weight loss due to lack of apetite. | STAY AWAY | M | 22 | 1 months 30mg 1X day | 12/12/2011 | 1 | Anxiety | None while on it, except it did nothing for me. Cymbalta withdrawal is a different story: Paresthesis (zapping sensation in brain) Tinnitus Nausea Dizziness / vertigo I have NEVER had these symptoms before in my life. This product is dangerous. | M | 37 | 2 months 30 then 60 | 12/29/2011 | 1 | Anxiety | Apathy, heavy alcohol use, delayed climaxes, disregard for others, carelessness. | Dangerous. Almost cost me my family, marriage, house, job - everything I'd worked for. | M | 49 | 12 months 30 1X day | 12/21/2011 | 1 | RLS | I felt very spaced out and lost track of where I was and what I was doing. . It made the RLS worse. I was clenching my jaws and yawning all the time. I felt cold all the time and was constantly jittery and shaking and my legs couldn't stop moving. This is one of the most awful things I've ever tried. Also my sexual appetite was 0. | I see everyone has different side effects, but there are many common thread. In my estimation I would never recommend it to my worst enemy. The stuff is awful. | M | 62 | 7 days 30 mg 1X day | 4/12/2012 | 1 | Depression | This has got to be the worst! Had trouble sleeping and all it did was increase my depression and anxiety. | M | 60 | 4 months 30mg 1X day | 9/2/2012 | 1 | GAD, dysthymia | OMG! This stuff made me almost kill myself after two days! I had to have a friend look after me for a few days because I honestly thought I was going to kill myself. Withdrawal was INTENSE after only 3 doses. I will never touch another anti-depressant after this and other horrible experiences. | I personally think that SSRI's and other similar drugs are the cause of the increasing incidences of people snapping and killing friends and family for no apparent reason. Look it up, almost every school shooter was on them. | M | 29 | 3 days 10 1X day | 5/2/2012 | 1 | fibromyalgia | The worst side effects were terrible swelling of my feet, ankles, legs, hands and wrists, as well as increasing difficulty urinating. | If I hadn't figured out myself that Cymbalta was causing these problems, I honestly believe it would have killed me! | M | 57 | 1 days 60 mg 1X day | 7/9/2012 | 1 | Depression | MY stomach burned so bad I needed to go to the hospital, I took it with food and followed all directions that came with it. It was crippling pain. | M | 21 | 3 days 100 mg? 1X day | 6/25/2012 | 1 | depression | Feeling of a type of dizziness back sides of head to front sides of head, like a fish was swimming in head, sometimes it started from backbone up to neck to head | Really did not do nothing for depression | M | 55 | 1 years 1X day | 4/28/2012 | 1 | Chronic pain/Depression | The only side effect was a monoemotion state, which sucked. | Hell to get off of, which I did AMA. Much uncontrollable sobbing. When I started thinking about suicide, I was able to reason with myself and remind myself that this was just withdrawal from that godawful stuff and that it'd be over fairly soon. I didn't notice any difference in my pain level as a result of stopping the Cymbalta. I also didn't notice any effect on my pain level when I started it. Pharmaceutical Co. are way too good at pushing their drugs, and maybe in getting other treatments killed, like Medical Marijuana. Just like GM did to the electric car. Medical Marijuana has helped improve my life while getting me off of meds for spasticity, nauseau, depression, acid-reflux and who knows what else. I feel so much better now than when I was taking all those pills, Which was when I was in the hosp. for 9 mon. and rehab for 5 1/2 mo. I still get sick quite often, but I can eat some and laugh at something funny on TV. I wouldn't take Cymbalta again, or any other anti-depressant for that matter. | M | 46 | 4 years 60mg 1X day | 3/20/2012 | 1 | IBS, Anxiety | Horrible side effects. Nausea, Heartburn and chest pain, Severe Constipation, Burning feeling all over body, mainly in the kidneys, Very tired and unable to sleep. Noticed Dilated Pupils as well as major head aches. Low sex drive/Impotence, Worsened Anxiety and panic attacks. Very dry mouth with awful taste, aches and pains. | Although it seems i was effected by every side effect possible, it may not be the same for others. But the suffering i went through with this drug was worse the then what they were prescribed for. | M | 24 | 5 days 30mg 1X day | 2/29/2012 | 1 | Chronic Back Pain | Woke up to stomach pain. Half asleep with mind racing, going through tons of images in my head. A bit of nausea and heart burn. Heart rate seemed elevated. I did not want to get out of bend for a while. When I did, my mind was foggy and I had good motor function, but I had trouble focussing on what I was doing. | All i could think about was the movie Jacob's Ladder when I took this drug. It freaked me out and I am throwing the pills out. My brain did not feel right. One pill was enough for me to quit them. | M | 35 | 1 days 30mg 1X day | 8/20/2012 | 1 | Anxiety | The worst thing I ever did in my life. After six months I still feel much worse than before taking it. Anxiety, weight gain, constant feeling of suffocation. I was infinitely better before taking Cymbalta. Had only a slight anxiety but old. | M | 24 | 180 days 30 MG 1X day | 8/29/2012 | 1 | Depression/Anxiety | Just wish I had seen this site before I had started taking this hellish drug. I have been treated with Epilim for the last 3 years and now all of a sudden the dr has decided to change. The first dose, within an hour I was violently ill, I developed a fever, cold sweats and the chills. My muscles were beginning to tense up and I was clenching my teeth like crazy. I've never done that, even in the worst anxiety attack. A few hours in, I was tired, emotionless, achy and developed a terrible headache. That night, my sleep was restless and plagued by vivid, disturbing nightmares. I still took a pill the next morning, hoping the side effects were temporary. I slept all day, apart from running to the toilet frequently. The muscle tension and clenched jaw continued and the fever and chills also. It was the first time I ever contemplated suicide, but didn't pay much attention. Third day, took another pill, but found this website and decided I would stop. 4 days after stopping the meds, I still had a fever and chills, the jaw clenching and broken sleep. Stomach cramps have eased a little by day 4 off the meds, and I'm starting to finally feel a little more human. I'd rather find some natural therapies that work for anxiety than to go through that again. | M | 31 | 3 days 30mg | 9/18/2012 | 1 | Pain | Gradually increasing pain in the abdomen. Passing red blood , which got worse over time. Weakness. | Symptoms resolved approximately 1 week after discontinuation of Cymbalta. | M | 47 | 30 days 20MG 2X day | 10/16/2012 | 1 | pain | Weight gain, tired and dont care about much at all. | M | 47 | 90 days 60 1X day | 5/18/2013 |
