Roll Call 86

That sucks, hang in there

This cymbalta has me so sick. I havent ate all day. Not hungry. Got a migraine. Very sick to my stomach.

When I first started taking anti depressants I felt like my brain was boiling. It wasn't pleasant. SSRIs and SNRIs are the first line of defense for panic attacks and anxiety. But with my bipolar tendencies I was taken off them and put on a high dosage of lamictal which also took waay my panic attacks and stopped my bad depression.

I'd give it three weeks to see if it starts to work unless it gets unbearable. In that case, call your doctor and see what you should do, if you have to tapper off it and if you can try another ssri or snri. I had a girlfriend that was on Cymbalta and she loved it. It didn't give her sexual dysfunction either. Sexual dysfunction is a common side effect with SSRIs but maybe not so with SNRIs. Definetely not with mood stabilizers like lamictal.

Newtus, if you notice yourself becoming extremely angry, like with road rage, tell your doctor you might be experiencing mania and you might need to get off of it immediately. That happened to me and I stayed on it however and it worsened until ibecame full blown bipolar 1 symptons.

Will do.

Ill try to stay on it for a bit. But im throwing up off and on. And this headache is quite unbearable. I think ill give it a few days.

My dads been drinking and is very tired. He almost lost his balance and fell. I dont think ill be sleeping much tonight between him and this cymbalta

sorry about your dad.
I'm surprised they didn't put you on a mood stabilizer.

Having a good night .

The top side effect for Cymbalta is nausa. That's not a good sign. Cymbalta is an SNRI, another SNRI is Effexor, but it's very stimulating. I had no side effects other than it felt like I was on caffeine. At first it was difficult to fall asleep. If you do try this take it in the mornings.

Can anyone help me? I think im having an allergic reaction to this cymbalta. My lips are swelling. I feel very sick.

Present.

Im in the emergency room

Sorry to hear that, I hope you're ok

Feel better soon!!

Hope you're okay! Allergic reactions to medications can be pretty serious. Smart to go to a hospital just in case.

1 more hour left of work!!!! Then I can go get mcdonalds breakfast

Thunder and lightning outside oh great

Thanks guys.

Just got out. They said it was an allergic reaction.

that's scary. Make sure you call your Pdoc.

Good morning everyone. Have an exciting day of napping ahead. I'm exhausted. I hate mornings like this. Hopefully my mind will shut off so I can sleep.
I hope you all have a good day.

I feel much better physically than the past two days. They gave me a bunch of meds in the ER.

Not looking forward to being home alone this weekend tho.

I called my clinic and told them what happened with the medication the doctor gave me.

They had the nerve to ask me if i was going to continue taking it. Like, why would i still take it if i got so sick from it and my lips swelled up?

I slept great got a shower and now the kids are home. Good day.

Hows everyones day going?

Good. How about yours?
