Side Effects for Cymbalta (duloxetine)
CYMBALTA (DULOXETINE): Duloxetine is used to treat depression and anxiety. In addition, duloxetine is used to help relieve nerve pain (peripheral neuropathy) in people with diabetes or ongoing pain due to medical conditions such as arthritis, chronic back pain, or fibromyalgia (a condition that causes widespread pain). Duloxetine may improve your mood, sleep, appetite, and energy level, and decrease nervousness. It can also decrease pain due to certain medical conditions. Duloxetine is known as a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI). This medication works by helping to restore the balance of certain natural substances (serotonin and norepinephrine) in the brain. (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

Very scary side effects! I just went off prometrium a few days ago, when I figured out what was probably causing the symptoms (I'm on a few other hormones,too, that were implanted). My doctor thought the testosterone could be driving the hypoglycemia, but the hypoglycemia became more manageable immediately when I stopped the prometrium. I'm praying it dissapears. Anyone else have blood sugar issues that resolved after stopping prometrium? After how long?
Fatigue like coma brain fog terrible leg cramps, burning feet couldn't walk blurry vision? Constipated impacted, depressed terrible gas pains all over my body, felt like my whole body was shutting down every organ of my body! I thought I was dying.I even made out my will! DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICINE!!! I am still recovering from this medicine and it's been about 6weeks since I took it. I
I have not had any negative side effects.
can't tell if it has been effective. It has helped in some days but not enough to be worth the side effects. i might need a higher dose but not willing to do that
This med was great for me. Post operative pain from TKR was acute. Had taken Vicodin but it did not help. Had expected more from the TKR as the replaced right knee hurts as much as the old left one. Dr. says all operations are different and to give it time. My question is how long is it safe to continue the Percocet ? It appears that I will be using it for a long time to come, probably years, as pain is rather constant and my osteoarthritis damage is obvious.
My daughter is 8. She's normally a very loving, caring, obedient child. For the last 4 weeks she's started lying about things with very elaborate stories for things that wouldn't even get her in trouble. She started getting defiant, and diliberately disobeying right after I told her not do something. Today she got in trouble for taking her school scissors and carving lines into her desk. When asked why she did it, she says she doesn't know. She just remembers picking up the scissors and the next thing she remembers is the teacher yelling at her for carving lines into the desk.
Save yourself! Terrible drug! It caused severe damage to my intestines. I have severe intestional spasms!!! There are not words to describe the amount of pain! Excruciating doesn't come close!! My suffering is caused by Lamotrigene!!!!I ubered to the is hospital because of this drug!

My body is coming apart. Athletic lift weights walk cycle. Both shoulders hurt. Low back pain. Getting tendonitis. Quad leg muscles sore. This all started after 4 months so its weird
First time; flu like pain and fatigue. Had a second one a few days ago and my spine and legs are in severe pain. I am so tired I can barely get out of bed. Not happy. I am not sure why the second infusion caused so many more side effects. Hopefully my next scan will show marked improvement, if not, I will not take another infusion next year as suggested by my doctor.
