Updated

Hi, i've been on Cymbalta for 4 days now. My skin is very itchy and my hand are very dry. Could this be a side effect?

It could be an alllergic reaction, your best bet is to consult with your doctor, if you are having a reaction to this med, there are other alternatives that you can try.

Hi Cindy,

This does sound like an allergic reaction, I recomend calling you'r Dr. I just started Cymbalta, today will be my 3rd day, my Dr. said that it helps with diabetic pain,(which I have) and I would feel it working within 5-7 days. If you just started this and the itching is unbareable, go see the doc. Good luck 2 u. Feel free to contact me

Sincerely,

Leslie
