Question:

Anyone else take Cymbalta that made you so sick you had to quit taking it ?

My Dr. just gave me Cymbalta(60mg) for depression. The first day I took it I was so sleepy, lethargic, nauseous. I slept on/off all day. I had to lay still. I was so naseous if I moved/walked around it got worse like I had motion sickness. When awake I was constantly yawning with each yawn it was everythin I could do not to vomit. My family said my pupils were dialated huge, and I acted spaced and drugged. I didn't feel drugged but I was horribly sick. I didn't take it again for a day or 2 then I decided to give it another try thinkin maybe it was somethin else that made me sick. I was wrong ... 20 minutes after taking the Cymbalta(60mg) I regretted it. It repeated everything from day #1. I haven't taken it since. Besides making me sick I didn't notice anything else it did for me. It didn't seem to help my depression one way or another.
I've heard people say it made them sick for 2-3 weeks and now they are fine. Did I gave up too fast? or Should I ask Dr. for a lower mg?


Answers:

You had an adverse reaction to the med. I was on Cymbalta and experienced the same thing but to a lesser degree. I called my Dr. and he had me stop with the med altogether. Call your Dr. and tell him/her your symptoms. This input will help others in the long run.
