| 1 | Fibromyalgia | Mania, weight gain, alcohol cravings, moodiness. This drug is very difficult to withdraw from.

Then things get worse so you get upped and it works until it doesn’t. Life gets so bad you don’t know what to do anymore. Then stopping is even worse. I was told it was like withdrawing from heroine.

Horrible withdrawal when I was weaned off, such as dizziness, vertigo, brain zaps, emotions out of control. | It did nothing to help my depression and actually made it worse because of the excessive weight gain.

I’ve noticed that my body has changed in how it reacts to several medications that I have had to use with surgeries and other issues. I tried Cymbalta a long time ago and didn’t like the side effects, but decided to give it another try. It can be very helpful with some pain conditions and I needed something that didn’t cause anxiety. I have had zero side effects. I am sleeping better, doing less stress eating, feel far less anxious and worried than I did on Wellbutrin. I was nervous about trying Cymbalta after reading the negative reviews on here, but other sites have far more positive experiences, too. It’s been good for me so far. I’ve also had the fewest number of migraines from my cervical nerve damage that I’ve had in years. | F | 55 | 2 months 30 mg | 11/23/2019 | 1 | Fibromyalgia and Arthritis | You name it! This drug is horrible. I'd rather live with fibromyalgia and arthritis! I dont get any sleep. Sweats.. yeast infections. Diarrhea. Horrible headaches. It's a laundry list of problems. I don't consider it side effects.. it creates more illnesses than it treats! I am a calm person normally and now I'm displaying anger outbursts. I don't know if it's the drug or anger because I feel horrible. I stopped taking it 4 days ago and still experiencing problems. | F | 51 | 25 days 30 mg 2 x | 11/23/2019 | 1 | Depression | Constipation, food intolerances, brain fog, yeast infections, fatigue, muscle tightening, worst withdrawals that include shear panic. Pacing back in forth in my kitchen. Can only ween 2.5 percent per month. Tried 4 percent per month and got the crushing panic. Absolute poison. | Should be taken off the market. | F | 32 | 6 years 30mg | 11/20/2019 | 2 | Depression | It doesn’t work and it causes anger, violent dreams | Withdrawals are hell | M | 21 | 2 months 60 | 11/19/2019 | 1 | Depression and anxiety | Weight gain, depression, a "numb" feeling when it came to emotions, sweating, some irritability, increase in blood pressure. | Would not recommend to anyone! | F | 46 | 3 years 30mg | 11/19/2019 | 1 | Depression | Intense sweating, terrible withdrawals. | When I wanted to get off this medication, my doctor reduced my dose from 60mg to 30mg. I vomited at least once daily for a month. I couldn’t keep and solids down. I survived on popsicles and tea. Horrible! | F | 20 | 1 years 60 | 11/19/2019 | 1 | Fibromyalgia | Vertigo, moodiness, dizziness, weight gain, tinnitus | I have tried to get off this pill now 4 times and the withdrawal symptoms are worse than what I mentioned above | F | 48 | 10 years 60 | 11/19/2019 | 1 | Depression | Nausea, numb emotionally, has horrible withdrawal stopping or lower a dose.
