I have been on CymGen for about 1 month to relieve peripheral newropathy in my feet.It helped wellfor newrop.but by now the side effects are worse then the newropth. I have permanent swelling on the effected leg which has become painfull and of course weightgain.It seems that insomnia is part of it. Also during this period I have blood thinning and everytime I scratch no matter how careful I get blood blisteres on arms drug and legs. Could this bee related to the drug or is it something else.

Is Cymgen associated with lens opacity? I recently found out that I have opaque areas in the lenses of my eyes. I have been on Cymgen for several years and reduced my dose from 90mg to 60mg about 3 years ago. Vision disturbances are listed as a possible side effect, and I was wondering if Cymgen could be the cause as this condition is unusual in a person of my age (40s) ## No, even in the detailed side effects for medical professionals, I am only finding that it has been known to cause blurred vision in about 4% of the people take it. Learn more Cymgen details here. Have you taken any other medications, including any type of steroids? ## Hi, I also experienced a reduction in my eye sight, and had my eye prescription changed due to it. Other than that I've done really well on the med...

Good day. I was put onto Cymgen (30mg) on the 19th of Sep 13' due to possible anxiety / panic attacks. (I'm a 34 years old, female). A few months ago I started breaking out in uncontrollable horrible smelling underarm sweats (the more I sweated, the more it would smell and the more self conscious I would feel and then I would sweat even more), I started having heart cramps and chest pains, limbs went numb, I had breathlessness (feeling of someone sitting on your chest) and irregular heart beats. The symptoms got worse very quickly. I got worried (possible stroke / heart attack) as I have no info on my parents medical history and I have an 8 year old daughter. I then went to see a GP. He did bloods and ECG's and all came out clean. No signs of pre-mature menopause or thyroid ...

I have been on cymgen 60 for about 6 months then reduced myself to 30 for past 4 months. I have always weighed no more than 54kg and am now sitting on 68kg. This is enough to cause anyone more depression than what they already suffering. Furthermore I also feel constantly tired, have dizzy spells. My husband says every week he has a different wife, one week Im arrogant and cocky, the next Im loving and insecure, the next Im nasty to everyone etc etc, isnt there a medication that can prevent these drastic changes in personality?? I have been on soooo many others over the years, nothing has seemed to help. I dont really suffer from the deep bouts of depression anymore but definitely have my weeks where I feel down and pretty worthless and am hard on myself and struggle to make it to work....

Hi guys I have been put on CYMGEN 60mg, and I am experiencing pain in my legs, tiredness and swolen feet. what concerns me is the fat that I've read that it can cause weight gain. kindly let me know if these are common side-affects and if all of you have experienced weight gain, that is the one thing I don't want. looking forward to hearing from you ## Hello, Elme! How are you? I'm sorry about the problems you're having. Yes, those can be side effects of this medication and you should have them checked out, because you may need to try a different medication. Weight gain is also a possibility, as listed by the FDA, along with nausea, dizziness, dry mouth and headache. Is there anything else I can help with?

I was on cymgen 120 mg for 6 months. Treatment for fibromaylgia. It made me mentally unstable. I had night mares twitching grinding teeth and felt no emotion. I was so desperate to be switched off. I considered suicide. I was admitted to hospital where they just added to my meds. This led to jerking and shaking. I decided to cut the meds down myself. And started to feel better. I went down to 60 mg of cymgen but the jerking and confusion didn't stop. This week I decided to stop it. Its been awful. But today for the first time im not twitching. And the jerking and fast heart rate has stopped. I still don't feel happiness But I'm on my way there. Cymgen was supposed to help with my physical pain but instead it drove me to madness. I was on cipralex for 8 years and I never felt...

I accidentally lost my Cymgen 60mg while on holiday and it was two days before I was able to get it again. The first day without it I experienced what I can only describe as a "zing" in my head. It's like I can see an electric pulse and feel the vibrations down my body. It's a sharp and quick sensation. Usually occurring when I stand up, or when I move around too much. The second day it got increasingly worse and I started a migraine. Is this normal? ## Yes, any time you've been taking a medication for awhile and suddenly miss a few doses, or stop taking it abruptly, it's normal to experience some mild withdrawal and rebound effects. Cymgen contains the active ingredient Duloxetine, which is an SNRI antidepressant and they can be especially problematic, since the...

Have been on cymgen for nearly 7 years now. It has worked but now the side effects are getting to be too much. Muscle stiffness, constant headache and I can't go a single day without them, it's the worst feeling ever. I have been a drug addict for 15 years and not even opioid withdrawals are as bad as cymgen withdrawals. I have tried to cut down to 30 mg but couldn't bare the withdrawals. Now I am on 60 mg and its seems to not work as good as it use to. Somedays I really can't get up. I am always so stiff in my neck. I also get heart palpitations, bad blood circulation and I feel withdrawn from everything around me. I don't feel any emotion. This is now enough. I want to stop taking this med. This is not a life I promise you that. ## Hello, Andre! How are you? When d...

I am taking Cymgen 60 and having the Mirena birth control inserted, but I am uncertain now as I have read about a few bad side effects of it together with depression. I need clarity on this as I can opt for the Nova -T instead ## Hello, Mariska! How are you? Yes, the Mirena uses a hormone to prevent pregnancy, so it can cause some mood swings and irritability, as listed by the FDA. Other side effects may include nausea, headache and spotting. Is there anything else I can help with?

Is it safe to fall pregnant on CymGen60? Would you need to go off it before conceiving? ## CymGen contains the active ingredient Duloxetine and it is usually considered safe up until a woman is 6 months pregnant, but in the third trimester, it has been known to have an adverse effect on the baby. Learn more Duloxetine details here. If it were me, I'd talk to my doctor about switching to something safer to use during the entire pregnancy, just to be on the safe side.

Hi I am on this tablet for more than a month. Within the first week I came out in hives and dr put me on 30mg for 4 days then back to 60mg. Hives stayed away. For 2 weeks now I have had NO energy and muscle stiffness in my arms and now it is going to my legs. All I want to do is sleep and have not been to work this whole week because I do not have energy to get up in morning. I take my pill in the morning as prescribed by my dr. My back is starting to stiffen up and my neck feels as if it could snap off at any time. I have never felt so overwhelmed in my whole life and as sick as this. Please tell me this is side effects to this tablet and not the end of my life, as it feels like it today. I can not lift a pot of food of the stove without having severe pain in my elbows and musles. I fa...

Hello. I started to take cymgen, my first 60mg dose was last night and I am feeling very weird. Shaky, sweaty, nausea, headaches, loss of appetite and my mind is very foggy. Will these side effects go away as my body adjusts to the medication? Also when is it best to take the medication, morning or evening? I took it last night and didn't get any sleep. ## hello, Olivia! How are you doing? Have things improved? Cymgen contains the active ingredient Duloxetine and it can cause these types of side effects in some people that take it, but if they are that severe, you should consult your doctor. It might not be the right medication for you. Learn more Cymgen details here. And almost all antidepressants cause insomnia to some degree, because most cause REM sleep latency, so you spend les...

The dr prescribed me cymgen and I am very afraid of gaining weight as I already struggle with my weight. Is there anything I can do to ensure that I dont gain weight? ## Cymgen contains the active ingredient Duloxetine, which is an SNRI antidepressant and while this class of medications is known to cause some weight gain, it is usually not significant. That's why they are chosen, by many doctors, over the SSRI class, for patients with weight issues. As to making certain you don't gain any, there are a few things you can try that may help. One is to keep track of your eating habits, since this effects brain chemicals, it is highly possible that it could cause your appetite to become increased, which could result in your eating more food than you actually need. Thus, you should tr...

I have been on Cymgen 60mg for three weeks and it is a miracle, from being super stressed, anxious, unable to sleep and very short tempered, I now feel great, sleep well awake rested and am calm without being docile. Maybe it just suits me. Started reading other comments, the only side effect I have noticed is that I am eating more, which isn't a problem as I normally don't take the time to eat...being too busy, stressed etc. It agrees with my body. ## It's so great to hear of someone where the medication is working!! With meds there are usually more negative effects in the majority than positive, so it's a relief to hear it does work for someone. I'm on Cymgen 60mg once a day (was on for about 6 mths and was doing well, so took myself off = NOT a good idea), so back...

I was on lexamil. It went well on the medication. my dr advise me the better option for biopoler depression is cymgen30 because it helps with neoro pains that i get in my neck.

iv been taking cymgen 60 for about 4 months tryed to get off the tablet but experienced bad withdrawals,so im on cymgen 30 now for 2 months but i want to get off this tablet but need to know if there is something non addictive to help get off this tab and help with the withrawals ## What has your doctor advised? Cymgen contains the active ingredient Duloxetine, which is an SNRI antidepressant and since it does work on brain chemicals, it can cause withdrawal and rebound effects, if stopped suddenly. Your doctor, however, should be able to help you taper off of it and may be able to suggest something, or prescribe something that will minimize the withdrawal and rebound effects. For instance, some people have good luck with Diphenhydramine, the active ingredient in Benadryl, because it is...

I am on Cymgen and Nexium, and experience extreme tiredness and sleepiness ........... any comments? ## Are you aware of the side effects associated with each medication? Esomeprazole (Nexium) lists "excessive tiredness" as a serious side effect that should be addressed by your doctor as soon as possible. Cymgen (Generic Cymbalta) also listed "tired feeling" and "drowsiness" as common side effects. It's difficult to say which medication is doing it more than the other (if not equally), but none the less, I'd recommend contacting your doctor to get a better evaluation of what's going on and how you should effectively handle it. It may be that you need to change medications to something less harsh on your system. I hope this helps! ## Thank you David, i...
