Insomnia headaches nightmares.

Some days constant hunger, other days no appetite at all.

weight gain, dry mouth, decreased libido.

initially, I was very tired for the first few weeks; no side effects after that.

Dilated pupils, sleepiness, dizziness first few days, inability to cry, anxiety.

I still don't like being on medicine, but I can't deny how much it has helped me.

I also have noticed that I don't get so upset and rattled by other people's rudeness or nasty comments anymore.

dry mouth, severe thirst, hot flashes all over my body, tightness in my chest, severe diahrea, fuzzy mind, freaquent urination, lost 25 pounds in two weeks, muscle aches, flu like symptons, stomach cramps and tiredness.

Very happy to be on it again.

ALL OF MY PROBLEMS WERE RIGHT HERE WITH SOME OF THE OTHER COMMENTS.

With the approval and supervision of my doctor I am trying to get off of the medication.

is this typical?

Still living my life with all of the ups and downs, but I feel centered and normal.

The doctor told me that it seems I have a hypersensitivity.

These could be dangerous.

I love it.

They usually smile back at you :) Think of positive thoughts even if you have to make them up.

When I don't take it, (if I miss my dose) I have difficulty sleeping.

Withdrawal symptoms are nothing to mess with I ran out of pills over a 4 day holiday weekend, and boy did I feel wierd.

little dry mouth.

I did things I normally wouldn't do, bought expensive things I couldn't afford.

I was give a doctors sample for 60mg which was probably too high to start out as most seem to start with 30mg.

At first I had some minor sexual side effects (no problems with erection, but I did have delayed ejaculation), but those side effects disappeared after a few months.

not cold chills), TMJ (from clenching jaw at night).

feel free to contact me I'm a research junky when it comes to meds!

I took it for 3 months believe that its affect on the mind is indirectly linked to the immune system functioning .

Lack of motivation.

This drug might have saved my life, it sure saved my sanity.

It is not the true sense of peace that comes from God.

I feel like I've been chemically neutered.

I feel happier, less "blue" I do have problems sleeping thru the night (I'm writing this at 4:30 am) but am hoping with continued dosage, that will subside.

I'm thinking seriously about going back on, but after reading some of your comments, I'm a bit scared.

Took first dose late yesterday morning after a late breakfast.

For me, this medication manages my depression if I take it at a low dose.

I'm on the slow decrease.

Also, hugely improved productivity; I'm unfrozen, However, this is countered by a waning desire to spend quality time with quality people, but I'm forcing myself beyond that because friends are priceless.

Ive taken several anti depressants and this is the only one that has done anything for me, I just hope it doesnt wear off.

Has anyone been on the cymbalta longer and with the combination of other meds that I am taking.

Nausea on the first day, nightmares, racing heart, unable to have orgasm.

I was given zoloft from my pyschiatrist and started at 50mg per day and was steadily increased to 100mg.

My moods are stable, but I'm now mildly and continuously depressed because of the two main side effects - lack of libido and bad night sweats.

Before starting Effexor, my BP was 120/80, pulse 75.

Difficulty with reaching orgasm.

The only side effect I have is occasional tremors, mostly in my hands.

agree that it isnt really effective for me either.

could definitely not drive in this state!

IT HAS RUINED MY LIFE, BEWARE!

No real bad side effects unless I missed a dose then I'd cry a lot.

To anyone that is trying it and experiencing some of the dizziness and nausea, I encourage you to stick it out.

I had balance issues, and would get the shakes before my second dose.

No matter what the side effects are it's worth it to get me back on my feet and let me feel good for a change.

constipation, fatigue, weight gain, blocked tears and sad feelings that still existed inside of me.

effexor works very well.

For the first couple weeks I was very tired, felt lethargic at times and more anxious at others.

I hope others have better results from this medication but I would recommend trying something different.

Why is this product legal?

The side effects have been manageable compared to lexapro and celexa.

However, I worry about the day when I decide to go off of them and determine if my depression is more chronic or clinical.

Dizzy, light headed, foggy brain, just stoned!

Worst drug i've ever had the misfortune to have prescribed to me.

headache, dizziness, loss of sex drive, insomnia.

Depression, major nausea, shaking, heart arrhythmia, trouble sleeping, dizziness, fuzzy brain, memory loss, feeling faint.

My follow through is great, where as I used to be flaky and couldn't be counted on, Lexapro has changed all that - now I'm dependable

yipee.

Over all I'd say these side effects are much easier go deal with than before & am very happy to be on the route to a steady, happy life!

Doctor mentioned me being on the cymbalta for about a year.

It has only been two weeks since I stopped taking the med.

Elevated blood pressure.
