I am weaning from Cymbalta for two reasons: 1) I have developed GI issues and believe Cymbalta plays a role and 2) I have lost my insurance and can't afford to pay for the drug. I let my NP know how I planned to wean, which was 10mg at a time every week and add 10mg of prozac when down to 20mg of cymbaltaI have had no withdrawal symptoms; other than a mild occasional headache, which excedrin took care of.I am currently on my last week of cymbalta, taking 20mg of cymbalta and 10mg of prozac daily.I took 50mg of cymbalta for a week, then 40mg, then 30mg, now 20mg plus 10mg of prozac.I also starting taking a natural, whole food/green food, multi vitamin for women as I began the weaning process and plan to continue with that.I am undecided as to whether I will continue with a therapuetic dose of prozac long term or not; thinking of going with something natural like 5htpCymbalta worked wonders on my depression. I suffered from depression for 15 plus years, including 3 major depressive episodes with suicide attempts, and then dysthimia (sp?). I am worried about the depression returning... time will tell(I started taking Cymbalta in April 2011, so I was on it for a year and a half, daily dose: 60mg)I was very worried about withdrawal symptoms from Cymbalta because while on Cymbalta if I was even a few hours late with my dose I could feel it immediately: body aches, fatigue, equilibrium off, muscles weakness, etc. I am thankful for these discus

On the upside, I have been seizure free for years. I have muscle spasms, however, they are very infrequent.The side effects are absolutely horrendous, but I do like not having seizures.

Temporary bloating, feeling full.
Cough & congestion and overall lack of energy. Today I have started itching. I am going to discontinue taking Zetia.
I've taken cipro and levaquin for throat infections and they've always worked. recently, i had a terrible UTI. cipro knocks out bacteria fast. if you take it for more than 10 days, you feel kind of weak, during one infection, the cipro really made me sick to my stomach and i lost my appetite. but, that's a small price to pay for a life-saving antibiotic. i am prone to yeast infections, so that's generally a given for me. but, cipro really has just been given a bad name, and it's an excellent, fast-working drug.
extremely high appetite, blood pressure shoot up, chest pain, went to cardiologist yesterday-said my heart is enlarge, very high trigliceride and LDL levels, sleepy, bad dreams
Wow! Not worth the horrifying side affects.
Right from when my daughter was born and I started taking this pill my mood changed for the worse. I had uncontrollable anger fits, and never felt happy. Nothing excited me ever... Didn't want to socialize or do anything. Felt like I could go the rest of my life without sex and be fine with it. Always felt tired even when I was getting between 8-10 hours of sleep per day. I've only stopped this pill for 3 days but already I feel better. A bit more like my regular self that I never thought I'd see again.
