I've recently been prescribed Epitec in the evening and Duloxetine for chronic pain syndrome. I suffer from anxiety and depression. Sometimes I experience panic disorder, also borderline bipolar.

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.

Hi there. I have just started with Cymgen and found that I cant sleep at night. The doctor advised me to take a sleeping pill for a week just so the body can get use to the Cymgen. Will this help? Will I be able to after a week, leave the sleeping pills and then still have insomnia? ## Hi, Rika! Sorry about the problem that you're having with the insomnia. However, there's really no way to say if this is going to work for you and if that side effect will wear off. And if it does wear off, it may take more or less than a week. Learn more Cymgen details here. The only thing you can really do is to try what your doctor has suggested and, if it doesn't help, talk to them again, as it may not be the right medication for you. Is there anything else I can help with?

Hi there, was changed to Cymgen 60mg. I was told the anti depressant is "weight gain indifferent".

I have been on Cymgen for 3 months now. First on 60mg in morning and now reduced to 30mg at night. I have started weeing 3-4 times per night although I haven't had anything to drink for hours. I also have a lot of acid. AND Insomnia !! Will it help if I take it in the mornings maybe ? ## Then you will have daytime sleepiness. Get off this drug if you can. It is not the right one for you and the side effects are not good for you. If you are female, no one will have sympathy with you for not sleeping because it will be assumed to be due to menopause. They will blame you if you are fat or if you had bad "bedtime Hygeine".Not one thing I tried worked except cyclobenzaprine (Flexeril) 10MG or 1 MG klonopin to sleep. Finally I could fall asleep but wake up four hours later. It too...

How long did the withdrawal symptyoms last. ## Cymgen contains the active ingredient Duloxetine, it is an SNRI antidepressant.

It could take anywhere from a few weeks to several months before things balance back out and you feel completely normal again. Learn more Cymgen details here.

I have been on Cymgen 30mg for almost 3 weeks. Day 2 to 7 were terrible with a racy heart and chills and then sweaty. I felt totally wired.
