Question: How did Cymbalta make you feel!? Stupid, Sensitive, Numb!?
I've been taking Cymbalta for 6 months now!. First 4 days I was naseous!. Next few weeks emotionless!. Next 2 months Fabulous!. 20 lbs weight loss!. Last few months weepy, seems to be losing it's affect, I feel stupid, and my relationship with my husband which at first was better with Cymbalta, now seems worse!. I feel like he doesn't want to be near me, whereas in the beginning he seemed to appreciate the new kinder, gentler me!. Can anyone sympathize!. I am thinking of lowering my dose, or weening off of it completely!. I just don't feel like myself and when at first I felt anergized, now I am lethargic!. But I love it's appetite suppressing affects and wish to lose another 30 lbs!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

In my experience, the first week or two my mouth was dry, after that I couldnt tell any side effects at all!. I was hoping for the numbness it gave my dad, because I was going thru the death of my grandma!.!. but anyway, I cant really tell much difference!.
If I were you I would ask the doctor to lower your dose!. What are you taking now!? 30 or 60 mgs!?
If you want to write to me in email I have another suggestion I dont wish to write on here!.
I do hope your husband is understanding!. When changing meds it can do a lot to your personality and emotions!. My husband thanfully is very understanding or else we woulda been in trouble a long time ago!. :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Maybe a pill isn't what u need!. R your hormones balanced do u have vitamin deficiencies do u need counseling do u get enough exercise!. Antidepressants are suppose to correct an imbalance in the brain and u should only be on the for a year to six months so if the imbalance is corrected and u r still taking it maybe it would cause u to feel the opposite way it is suppose to talk to your doctor!. Remember most docs r given perks for prescribing medication just use your common sense
when deciding what is right for u look at all the angles and possibilities don't just blindly follow what your doc say educate yourself!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Cymbalta did almost the same for me!. At first it made me sick, then it seemed to work!. About 2 weeks in I became the world's worst b**h!. I hated everyone and everything!. My family tiptoed around me!. Finally my husband asked me to switch it or get off of it!. I would sleep all of the time, so tired! I weaned off of it by reducing the dose every other day!. I switched to Effexxor and have had great results!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
You seem to be suffering from a relapse in your depression rather than the side effects of Cymbalta!. You could try upping your dosage or changing drugs completely (you could try Wellbutrin, it will help you lose weight too, plus it makes you feel more energized)!. Talk to your psychiatrist!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
