I just started taking Cymbalta and I feel odd. Im not as nervous anymore. I am having weird jerking movements. Is this something that goes away after a while? My feelings range from Majorely depressed to being apathetic. Can anyone help me out here?

Wellbutrin made me feel like a robot. I do recall feeling some crossover weirdness and brain zapping when I started Cymbalta but after it kicked in I felt much better.

I am in week 3 of starting Cymbalta. Just rx to double dosage this week.
I feel very nervous (unlike you) and very shaky, quaky inside and out.
It's a very disturbing and unsettling feeling.

How are you doing on Cymbalta by now? How did it go?

Hi-
I take 60 mg caps of Cymbalta for depression. the first time I took that dose was for "pain"...my heart rate increase, I felt very strange and almost went to the ER(some place I dread)....It was probably due to the increase of Norepinephrine. So when I first aw the PNP, I let her know about how tachy I got, and she started me out on 30 mg...then after a month I went up to 60 mg. The side effect I had w/ the 60 caps was headaches...but iwas so depressed, I put up w/ them.

Wellbutrin & Cymbalta are very different, maybe you need to start out on a lower dose?
