CYMBALTA  (DULOXETINE):  Duloxetine is used to treat depression and anxiety. In addition, duloxetine is used to help relieve nerve pain (peripheral neuropathy) in people with diabetes or ongoing pain due to medical conditions such as arthritis, chronic back pain, or fibromyalgia (a condition that causes widespread pain). Duloxetine may improve your mood, sleep, appetite, and energy level, and decrease nervousness. It can also decrease pain due to certain medical conditions. Duloxetine is known as a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI). This medication works by helping to restore the balance of certain natural substances (serotonin and norepinephrine) in the brain.   FDA Approval Date: 2004-08-03 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 5  depression bipolar chronic pain I've only been taking Cymbalta for a few days but I already feel so much better. I finally have the energy I always wanted, I'm being productive, and enjoying my life. Side effects im experiencing are: greater sensitivity to light and taste, headaches, and jaw clenching. Since I just started I don't know if these symptoms will continue, or for how long if they do, but I am willing to put up with them. F 30 4 days

 5  for pain management Cymbalta has helped me get my life back. The side effects are minor compared to the benefit, dry mouth, gained around 10-15 and crazy vivid dreams nothing scary. I recommended it to anyone that is not suffering from depression or diabetes. It works better then opined, staying clean and getting things back in order. F 37 1 days

 4  Moderate chronic depression Honestly, none that I can recall other than the usual dry mouth. I just went back on this after a really crappy experience on Pristiq...don't know why I ever switched meds in the first place! I was more depressed on Pristiq and I gained 10 pounds. Cymbalta never affected my weight or caused any other troubling side effects. I won't make the samemistake twice! F 38 1 years

 1  spinal pain my mom takes this for back pain, she experiences headaches, nausea, dizziness, fatigue, vision problems, and foggy head. She tried to wean off and all got worse, she would not recommend this drug to anyone. It would be better to take nothing and it never helped the pain either. It is just easier to stay on it than to try to come off. If we had know all these side effects to begin with, never would have started it. IF YOUR DOCTOR RECOMENDAS THIS DRUG-REFUSE IT!!!!

 1  depression;nerve pain horrible peeling ALL over my body(3 weeks) even the SOLES of my feet, I felt like Job, The only places unaffected were my back and the palms of my hands. Took my own self off. A nightmare although it did remove most of the pain and swelling. However, the price I paid was hardly worth it. Went straight to Lyrica, that was a JOKE, might as well have been on baby aspirin and at a$100.00 now I am back on gabapentin or as call it generic Tylenol. God help me. F 57 30 days

 1  Chronic back pain Nausea, chills, severe leg twitching, very bad cramping in upper legs at night with sharp pain, headache, swelling under eyes, inability to urinate until later in the day, increase in back pain I just don't think I can take this drug though I wasn't on it for long. It seemed dangerous given the severity of side effects. I know some people are able to tough it out, but this seemed extreme. I have tried many drugs, and can take opiates without trouble. But the anti-spasmodics and the anti-depressants (exception being Amitriptyline) cause many problems. This is the worst set of side effects I have ever experienced and don't feel it's safe to continue. 71 3 days

 5  Anxiety and panic For the first month the side effects were a disaster. I had headaches for the first hour after taking the pill, constipation, loss of appetite, exhaustion, drowsiness and yawning all day, weight loss (which I don't mind) and terrible night sweats. Now five months later I have the night sweats still and I am very tired throughout the day with little energy.But no weight gain or hair loss which I had worried about the most initially. It has been immensely helpful for me so I am willing to put up with the side effects as my anxiety is basically gone. F 37 5 months
