Bad Side Effects From Cymbalta (Top voted first)

Updated

I am talking on behalf of my wife.Her Doctor put her on this drug.She was on it for two or three days.She has been nothing but sick. Dizzy,light headed,throw up,can't walk straight and things like that.I told her not to take anymore.The Doctor put her on 30 mg .I see that there is three different sizes.Watch what size your Doctor starts you out on.The side effects are scary.

I tried this for pain and depression and I had absolutely no results from it at all. It really is only effective for certain people, with the right body chemistries for certain types of nerve pain.

Cymbalta can cause heartburn and/or nausea. It is best to take it on a full stomach or after supper. It will help alleviate some of stomach problems.

I have just been placed on cymbalta and found that if I take it after 3:00 p.m., I have sickness the following morning, as if I were pregnant, with stomach pain also. I have switched to lunch dose and find it makes a big difference.

I have been taking Cymbalta for quite a while. I went from 30mg to 60mg twice a day. I'm unsure if my nausea is from this medicine since I take 25 other meds but it is convincing. My mother is on 30mg and she has dizziness and nausea. I'm doubting that this is a suitable drug for anyone.

Yes, David, It is the weirdest reactions that I have ever felt, I am in a wheelchair from damn cymblata; doc s don't know what they are doing but all I do is shake almost like MS or Parkingsons; thinks she should gradually get off as I am trying to do! I was only on for about a month and symptoms started immediately; on the 1 and only good side, the pain was relieved from FM!
