The Dr at hospital said that was a very common effect with Cymbalta.

The best time for me to take it is around 5pm with a good meal.

I had a little bit of a problem falling asleep last night.

might work for some peeps but didn't work for me.

As of last Sunday I don't take the cymbalta any longer.

I was at 60mg and then dropped to 30mg for 2 weeks then stopped taking it.

At first i yawned constantly and had dry mouth but over time it stopped, and weight loss.

Brain zaps, excessive yawning, fatigue, increased appetite, vivid sexual dreams, sexual side effects.

- Most people don't start on 20mg, it was an emergency.

The loss of appetite and weight loss was one of the main side effects I had, I am already underweight, and losing weight isn't good for me

It is now 12 hours later and it still feels like LSD but I'm getting more flu like symptoms now.

Very big increase in blood pressure which I had never experienced before.

Dry mouth the first month and then later bouts of extreme thirst, I think it also gives me headaches and neckaches, but I am not sure because I was diagnosed with migraines previous to this medicine.

I would like to try a different antidepressant because the loss of motivation and being tired all the time is making me feel lazy, worthless, and almost as depressed as before I started taking it.

I take it at night.

I think the combo makes me itch all over.

I only take 50mg and life is a lot nicer.

I'm in serious pain right now.

dripping in sweat all the time, extreme fatigue, mucus coming out of my anus, feeling like I have to have a bowel movement several times an hour, constipation, and my depression is the same as when I wasn't on it.

On the third day at work, I experienced what felt like an 'acid trip' after about an hour of taking the recomended 30 mg dose.

love love love this medicine its made a tremendous difference in my life it doesnt really do anything for my pain but helps alot for my depression and moods.

I found a terrific counselor who prescribed me lexapro after informing her of my previous experiences with prozac and valium.

After the two weeks the neuropathy pain subsided and had a loss of appetite which was a good thing for me.

it'll ruin your life,im only 19 and i've been on it for 4 years.

I've been on this medication for years.

I must have developed a tolerance however, as my dosage was increased and now my doc is transitioning me to Lexapro.

Now I find I have extremely vivid & bizarre dreams- some good, some bad.

Dry mouth, subsidized sex drive, first few weeks experienced tiredness and felt very foggy.

A few hours later that seems to cease and I become really tired.

didnt want to eat first two weeks, cant sleep, felt sick when working out/shaking.

good news: there's a generic coming out, meaning it doesn't cost $10 a pill (before insurance) sometime soon

Dizziness, ringing of the ears, irritable, anxious, horrible nightmares, feelings of electrical surges in my body.

When all is said and done, and after taking so many other AD's that have really messed me up, this is by far the best, with the least amount of side effects.

I do have sleeplessness but, I am willing to deal with that in exchange for the pain, weightlose and the feeling of happiness.

head fog.

It has calmed my anxiety down alot, before I could hardly bare to be social,social situations just scared me to death.

This drug really didn't help either of my problems at all.

This was my miracle on Christmas day.

Vivid dreams, and remember them in such great detail !

slight sexual problems, delayed ejaculation.

There is no way I could work with this and I will not take it again.

Currently in the process of switching over to Wellbutrin XL.

I like not feeling depressed, but I feel like I am being made to feel happy against my will.

extreme weight gain, short-term memory loss, hair loss.

I feel so much better emotionally and physically than I did when I was on Celexa.

You can't do that after being on Effexor a while, it makes you fat, exhausted & feel hopeless!

5 lb weight gain initially.

achiness, tiredness, restlessness, blurry vision, tingling in arms, legs and hands, increased anxiety, high blood pressure, belching, heartburn, loss of appetite, strange taste in mouth, alternating hot and cold spells, headaches, loss of feeling during sex.

Nausea, Insomnia, Loss of appetite, Dizziness, Dry mouth, Increased sweating, Constipation, Abnormal dreams, Weight loss, High blood pressure, Flushing, Abdominal pain, Twitching, Inability to sit still, A rapid heart rate, Fever, sweating, or shivering, Coughing, Extreme confusion, High cholesterol, Hemorrhoids, Liver problems, A decreased sex drive,, My Dr. tried every medication and nothing worked, until he put me on Effexor XR.

WEIGHT GAIN DESPITE REDUCED CALORIE INTAKE, frequent nausea, vivid dreams to the point that is difficult to wake from them, head rush that made me think I was having a stroke, disassociation, spaciness, horrible withdrawal symptoms-so NOT quit suddenly or on your own.

My depression is at an all-time low and my anxiety getting better.

Dry mouth, heightened side effects if more than one day's dose was missed (aggression, agitation, restlessness, mood swings) but not severe enough to quit taking it long term.

Another reviewer above mentioned in his case it took several months.

I have hung in there and now the side effect have gone.

where as I don't really want to do anything now durring the day.

MY HAIR WAS SHEDDING AT AN UNUSUAL RATE, I WAS HAVING A DULL HEADACHE CONSTANTLY.

This drug has helped me greatly.

Some libido decrease.

I have taken many, many drugs and this one was a doozy.

Severe fatigue, problems staying asleep, slight nausea.

The food I used to avoid I LOVE now.

and I still have occasional heart flutters, a clenched stomach, and the anxiety that goes with that.

This is surprisingly strong stuff.

I don't lose my temper, go into ranting raging fits anymore.

After seeing every type of doctor AND having every type of blood test/urine test/a fat biopsy about the swelling and itching rash on the inside of my knees and what started on the inside of my ankles.

Both subsided in a couple of weeks.

It left me just as sad, only bigger and full of poop.

I think of this time of my life as taking a well needed break, That's what Lexapro is.

have experinced headaches alot when i wake up mainly, increased appiette, weight gain of course.

this drug worked so well along with therapy.

Effective in reducing anxiety and depression in less than a week.

I would just stay around and do nothing all day.

I resisted taking this medicine at first, but decided it was for the best when my depression and anxiety started getting in the way of my functioning normally.

I am sleeping better much better.

Now I have an erosive esophagus.

I initially also experienced extreme night sweats and some jaw clencing at night, but these passed within a week.

Next day worthless and in a fog, bad headache.

The nightmares and the sickness that goes with it are terrible besides the symptoms you had to begin with.

nausea about 4 hours after taking the med lasting rest of the day,sweating in the face, severe constipation.

feels like you have the flu x 100 constantly for 2 weeks now I cant work, cant go to school, can't function.

I have a hot flash type of feeling the first few hours after taking it.

Think I'm gonna call my pshyc.

Coping with these side effects is nothing compared to coping with severe depression.

Sexual side-effects, insomnia.

I was then put on Prednisone 20 mg a day to subdue the swelling and rash/itching.

For the first two weeks I could not drive and could barely leave my bed.

Six months later and I don't feel any better.

The side effects are far less hassle than being in my dark depression

then i was given 60 mg and i have been taking that for about 3 weeks now and i have highs and lows all the time.

Weight gain ( 20 pounds in 6 months )adverse sexual side effect, loopy when trying to come off of it, threw up many times a week within an hour of taking med.

Thanks.

Its an antipsychotic with lots of serious side effects (I'm not psychotic).

Aside from that, it's been all good.

Dry mouth.

I have no sleepiness at all.

Very sleepy all the time.

I'm comfortable with this drug.

Most of these side effects diminished markedly after 2 weeks.

Just eat cereal and fruit if you don't want to gain weight.
