Is your brother Ely?

Funny! Ever noticed how Eli Lilly is spelled?

@@lauralily4467 Yes, but I powered through to make the joke.

@@BetaBuxDelux 😁

Does it get you high?

I hope you are doing great. Are you still taking it?

Thanks for sharing this.

I believe that unfortunately is the truth for some that take it, or any psychiatric medication for that matter. But other times the side effects do not develop and since it was the right medication for the individual withdrawals are unpleasant but not a living hell. For me speaking in terms of cost-benifit analysis this medication is a no brainer. But I will continue with my check ups to make sure that it isn't causing me more harm than I am aware of. I also take Milk Thistle for my liver and I take Huperzine-A for my brain function. I also suggest for anyone looking to take an psychoactive substance such as an antidepressant that they have their genes tested to see what medications would be safe for them and what medications should be avoided at all costs. My psychiatrist gave me a gene test just using saliva and I have gotten my results back. It was interesting and comforting to know we weren't shooting targets in the dark.

@Michelle Davis Your experience w/Cymbalta is YOUR experience. Please do not assume it will affect Jessica or anyone else in t/same manner.

Placebo effect Theres only aprx 5% differential if you listen to video. You will be trapped taking it forever, the longer your on it, the more your body needs it. We are not born with these chemicals and they are bad for your body, people are easily mislead by trusted Drs and big PHARMA. Sorry to hear about you. Please read more, and research your fav pill company, many lawsuits by unhappy patients.

@@ImGoingToMakeShowsWithOprah There are no safe drugs, really, we gave all been brainwashed by our Drs and big Pharma.

Jessica Artau statistics show that 50-78% of people who take this medication DO withdrawal from it while the manufacturer says its 1-2%. This medication is hell. Most people go back to this medication because the withdrawals are SO extreme..so the likelihood you won’t withdrawal from this is very slim.

Why did you come off?

@@TelzAll bad cons outweigh pros

Geez

Somilar terrible side effects 😢

Anti psychotic meds as well just numb everything.

Cymbalta did this to me as well. Given its track record, it needs to get off the market for what it is being prescribed for.

i also suffer from pain in hips,pelvic are and sometimes legs ...will it help me

It makes me sleepy, so I take it a few hours before bedtime.

@@zubairbutt228 maby, worth A try!

@@zubairbutt228 did you get any solution i have also pain in my hips and fybromylagia taking duloxetine please tell

Has it helped with the brain fog, energy, and motivation or made it worse?

Been taking 60mg a day for three years and quit taking it altogether 5 days ago. Terrible feeling.

Braindamage by cymbalta

Thanks for the info

How long where you experiencing the withdrawal symptoms?

Wow, finally someone who sees it for what it is! So glad you are free, all the best;)

Concratulations! I want to do that too! But everytime I tried, my doctor tells me that I need it.

Coming off it myself at the moment. My dose reduction not been too bad but now I've stopped completely I'm taking a day at a time. Wishing you well

What did you experience, withdrawal wise? Cause I was put on it and NEVER taken it before an this Idiot dr. put me on 60mcg to start. I suffered Severe headaches and my heart rate sky rocketed. After 5 days, I was advised to go off it until I see my Family dr. I've been off it for over a week and still suffer from severe headaches and high heart rate. Now they gone put me on 30mcg but I'm nervous to take it. The reason why they're putting me on it is for Anxiety/Panic attacks. Just wondering what withdrawal symptoms you had and how long it lasted. Thanxs

How long before the withdrawal symptoms were over? I am going tru hell right now.

@@1979dineke my cold Turkey took 2weeks total...

Just started on it 2 days ago, reluctant to take it very long....how long did you take it?

Who? This doctor?

@@somcanayes

Hello. I have severe GAD also I've been trying to treat for more than a decade now. Have you ever had anything that's helped? I've tried just about everything

Benzodiazepines help but are very addictive and you can build tolerance fast in saying that it will help IF YOU DONT CONSTANTLY ABUSE IT

Yes I am having REM disorder as you described so I will try to get off 75mg Effexor which i have been taking for 15 years. Thank you for describing your REM disorder in detail as mine is exactly same. Thank you

your dose is far too great it seems. you should not feel a rush of euphoria...if you want that go take some mdma

You can find happiness, it is never through drugs though. Reach out to others, get involved in community, I assure you that will be beneficial for finding meaning and happiness.

No the euphoria is normal day 1 that means you really needed the boost. I had that too. Wished I had it every day I was so relaxed and worry free

@@aidanshearer691 Who needs MDMA when you can get the same results OTC by a "non addictive" "non narcotic".

Michael Dixon no don’t I tried to get of it and ended up in hospital screaming out of my mind . It did nothing for pain . You put on weight .

Michael Dixon psychiatrists job is to give you poison . They make money that way . I wouldn’t rust them . Doctor ruined my life . And then he dropped me when I needed help .

Trust is a dangerous game.

Do it

Did it give you any side effects when you first took it?

Listen to see if this effects you. Has a lot of side effects.

I don’t mess with it. I take 2 Tramadol for fibromyalgia…its helped a great deal

Tramadol has a way of helping me better with my fibromyalgia…Cymbalta messes with my sleep so bad. I don’t mess with it anymore.

I agree with you Mia, this drug should indeed be banned 🚫.

What are other treatment options available according to you?

I quit it after 3 years, 120 mg for neuropathy! I went through pure HELL and still am after a yr. I became suicidal,hallucinations, brain fog,brain zaps, myclonic jerking HELL! I ended up in a mental institution for two weeks. I have never had any history of mental health issues. This ended up w/ serotonin syndrome.

Hi John I also have a woshing sound in my ears also. I have been trying to describe it to my mental health councelor and all I could say was it sounds like a washing machine in my head. You are the first one that has also described it .Thank you for your description.

Yes the whooshing noise and unbalance is scary. I fell 2 times.

I get the whooshing in my head and ears mostly in the evening on the days that it goes on all day for days that I just want to throw up and pass out. I’ve yet to find anyone who have this symptom on regular basis.

Pick me

Oh nooo

Ann Marcos aw no I had a horrible experience when I tried to stop it . But my doctor dropped me when I wS in hospital he lied said it’s easy to get off.

Oh god that was terrible!

@@Marissa_Lynneee are you better now?

That's what happens when you just mask the problem with the quick fix.

I couldn't orgasm when I was on it.

very accurate.

I hope everything gets better for you! I really do!

How are you doing now?

@SRV1 Okay, I'm going to listen to random guy on Internet over my psychiatrist.

What happens when you burnout on the highest dose?

Glad to know it

@@fabio.1 Not that you need to know anything, no offense, but you can take the highest dose to squeeze the most out of the medication. That's what my doctor told me. So, it's not a burnout of it, it's just utilizing it to get the most you can out of it. And since if has no side effects that I can discern (maybe latent ones of course that I cojdkt never tell), it's a good medication.

@@BickBenedict1 thanks!

Hi after how many weeks it starts working?

🧢 cap

This was exactly my experience too. They gave me NO warnings about this shit when I was put on it. I was in so much pain at the time I didn’t question it.

Antidepressants rewire your brain in a bad way. Once you take that small pill, your brain is no longer as it used to be.

Why did you start taking it in the first place ? How much are you taking ? It's worked wonders for me.

George Kolotouros lost my job due to politics at work and was very upset. I’ve always had minor anxiety anyway and was prescribed Xanax to take when flying frequently for my job. Minor anxiety turned into full fledged panic attacks by day 3 of taking it. I also have disc herniations, so my family doctor thought it would kill multiple birds with one stone. It just didn’t suit me.

Yeah I'm afraid cuz a lot of these effect me pretty badly. I guess we'll find out

Q

If you can’t handle the side effects you were never unwell enough to warrant taking it anyway, people don’t realise they make you 10x worse before better if your unwell enough you deal with it🙄

I read that most of these new, and likely old anti depression drugs change your brain chemistry......so you will never get better and always in need of these drugs, which do not heal. Worse, make everything worse.....including more depression, anxiety and suicide. These drugs are evil. Doctors make money from them, and they like the companies that sell pretend uts great, even research is altered to make it sound better. You are better off finding natural methods.

What is your symptoms exactly

Have you heard a word called tapering off. Stop spewing your ignorance on others. You have to taper it off over the period of 12 months to completely get of the psyc meds

Hey there :) does it make you sleepy ? Am I okay if I take this in the morning before work ? Thank you

I know all about that. It was horrible, ended up in the hospital. But was on it and Amytriptilin, and come find out, those 2 were not suppose to be prescribed together. 😢

So sorry that you're going through that @karmajo seems to think that punctuation is more important than being sickened by pharmaceuticals I hope that they enjoy their pharmaceuticals

​@@sharonbice7490😢

​@@sharonbice7490I figured out over a decade ago to step away from the medical industry entirely and then I got some help from alternative medicine but naturopathic was just taking me down a million rabbit holes and on a million supplements. Not much better than the medical industry. Neuroplasticity was extremely helpful to me and it's a beautiful way to heal ourselves from within I held myself of all of the symptoms of Lyme disease and hypersensitivity with those tools alone about 8 years ago.

@@sharonbice7490oooh wow!!! I am so sorry you went thru that. How ur doing better.

I was getting itchy rashes.

Yes

I'm prescribed this drug and starting in the morning. What has your experience been like since? Positive or neg.?

@@tommybarry3581 I couldn't get out of bed without it...its a Godsend for nerve pain.

Lyrica works so much better for pain.

@@debJams007 Does the cymbalta help for energy and motivation?

Hey there :) does it make you sleepy ? Am I okay if I take this in the morning before work ? Thank you

Who told you that you have inflammatory arthritis and vascular necrosis? How did you get it?

You cant go cold turkey you cant

Look into mast cell activation.

Jesus what happened. /

Update: wow, that was 8 mos ago. I still have changes, my appetite has changed, I can’t eat as much and still don’t want to. My body odor went back to normal. Zaps stopped. I would say most effects of the drug are gone. There are a few odd changes in my eating habits is all. Successfully off the meds and happy 😊

I had the same reaction to my skin with Effexor (Generic). It was a nightmare, I took steroids but only help me for a few days. It went away 2 months after I stop Effexor. My new doctor give me Cymbalta but I am so afraid to take it. Will problably not. Seems I'm allergic to SNRi's and unfortunately SSRI's doesn't work anymore for me. I'm searching for Escetamine therapy and after that rTMS.

Dr. Taweh is my favorite though!

Do not take this. Im gonna go through probably the worst journey of my life now with trying to discontinue this poison

Hi! How was your withdrawal eventually? Any success?

@@snowlion777 hi! so I did fully withdrawal from it and then I ignorantly got put back on it and had withdrawals for 5 weeks.

Taking clonazipem 0.5 at bed time and dulextine best for pain

Big time.

Dude now I’m scared I’ve been taking it for 5 months

@@II-jz1zo Hi, can i ask how cymbalta makes you feel in general. Has it helped you or is it causing you any bad effects? I say "effects" as none of the effects are side effects in my op, they are just effects that hit different folks at different times. I was started on gabapentin in 2006 which changed to 200mg pre gablin 3 x per day. I have been tapering the last month and now down to one at bedtime as i do feel that it is the pre gab that has caused me to get pretty bad pitting edema in both lower legs this last couple of years and like so much no Dr told me that Pre bag causes this and found out myself after much looking and reading into it. I have been prescribed 30 mg cymbalta for the chronic pain and nerve damage i have form an accident at work over 30 years ago, but i have only recently started recently to try help with this crushing depression and anxiety that goes with such bad and long standing pain. Thankyou in advance. :}

He's not lying. I quit it and lost my mind for months after.

I'm interested in your knowledge of this.

Consider integrating punctuation into your practice.

Stay away from Seroquel, it literally can kill you. See his video on Seroquel, it's horrifying.

Hey I take kratom to, Are you taking kratom and cymbalta, I want to know if it is possible, My doctor is aware!! but he said there is no way to know!

I got off after 6 weeks. Most horrendous side effect for me was total bowel emptying with no warning. I had really bad dry throat and mouth.

Plz give me more details what you feel in both doses as im in same combination but 60 mg Cymbalta with 20mg cipralex

@siddig578 i also dropped cymbalta to 60 mg as it was causing me problems and cypralex at 30 now and it feels alright

@@livanolimanolania4340 so shall i increase cipralex to 30 and continue 60mg of Cymbalta... So plz tell me ur feeling now and how much time needed to improve???

What'd your doctor say? Are you still taking the medication? If you don't mind my asking.

Hi I have taken this for years, it takes time but works for me. Hope you feel better soon x

I'm dealing with the same thing!? 30mg 1x daily

Mississippi Mama my doctor swore it was easy to come off so I believe him . When I was in the ambulance screaming that I was going to sue him .

Exact same thing happened to me. Feeling bloated, foggy /light headed, I cried twice the same day. A bit euphoric. woke up with the worst panic attack ever. I don't dare to keep on this drug.

thats a very generalised statement to maske . everyone is different you have no idea how this drug can effect some people. if you are prescribed this drug your GP obviously thinks you are un well enough to warrant taking it

@@wendybell9007 not true at all gps hand these things out like there candy there is a massive difference between being depressed because you have shit stuff going on in your life to having life threatening clinical depression I went to the gp when I was 16 for having some social anxiety and without offering any counselling or anything he chucked pills at me and it’s not rare for that to happen these should be a last resort if everything in your life is good and you’re still depressed

It's an awful med.

Antidepressants have never been a good treatment for most people.
