Cymgen 60 Side Effects
(Newest replies first)

Updated

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. I have lost 2 jobs in the past due to this. Please advise.

I take Cymgen for the relief of pain and not for any philological reasons. I suffer from an Auto immune illness called "stiff person syndrome" This is a painful disease that makes your muscles shorter by way of spasms. Eventually all your muscles become rigid and hard, your eyes and hearing goes, and eventually you just stop breathing. There is not a day that I do not panic about the unknown. I have every side effect you have to the t. I have always exercised and were always the same weight I was in matric . I started taking Cymgen 60mg for about 2 years ago. I picked up 10kg(and I am panicking)I drink valoid every day, although I basically eat nothing, and every day we have fights about me not eating, it has no effect; eat or not eat. I never had headache's, now I have them daily. I get panic attacks, short black outs. I take 2 more pills that is mood stablelisers, also to help me keep positive, but it helps my muscles to relax after a nights sleep, mobility is difficult in the morning. I want to go off the Cymgen, but after a lot of reading, none of us was properly informed about the side affects. what I need to know is what is going to happen if I go off it (pain?) and is there any replacements? I am now going to start dissecting the side affects with my GP, and not my neurologist, and see if we can do something to live without Cymgen. if anyone knows about a replacement, please post anything I do not know about this drug or replacing it. I am a miserable person with my extra kilograms. everybody says I should be grateful that it help for my pain. now I hide in my house, and the pain is still there. lately I have thoughts of ending my life, but is clinging to my religion'.

Have been on Cymgen 60mg one a day for a good number of years, at one stage weaned myself off but after a few months went back as I felt quite miserable. Have put on a few extra kilos however at age 58 can live with that as opposed to being miserable. Want to know what the long term effects might be. I find Cymgen keeps a good balance for me ( I know this from going off previously ) with the normal ups and downs of every day living. By the comments posted some people seem to adjust better than others, for me works very well.

i have gained 15 kg and feels like a bus. even if i dieet i do not lose weight. I feel more negative than ever. I dont want to go out of my house because nothing seems to fit. for a woman who does not want to pick up weight, i think it is not a good thing. I am not gonna drink it anymore. I am not gonna go to the 30's. I am just gonna stop it. In my life I have never been overweight, just when pregnant, and I hate myself. I rather be a b**** than to be a kind fat, fat woman.

Finally I come across someone that experience the same challenges!! I've gained 14kg's since I started using Cymgen 60mg about 2 years ago and thought that it might be my Thyroid or middle-age-whatever. My goal is to go off Cymgen completely and ultimately off Stilnox 12.5mg too. Depression is NOT a state of mind but a disease. Is there anyone out there that can give me hope that I will be able to go off medication completely?

Nats, have you talked to your doctor?

At this point, the medication may be causing part of your problem, since they do that in some people and you may do better with just some therapy or counseling services.
