It’s soo interesting how people seem to react really well or really bad to this medication. It is wonderful for me.

I’ve been on Duloxetine now for 7 years. It has been a life saver, literally! It helped my therapy sink in, improved my mood, and allows me to feel normal. I hope to never get off of it. I’ve missed a dose before, the next day I always feel AWFUL until my next dose kicks in.

Thanks for your for the information brother❤ love to anyone going through depression and anxiet🙏🏾

Thank you for sharing all the information with us in an easy way of understanding. Things you've mentioned are ringing a bell with long term usage.

My mother is on this, and after seeing this video, we've decided on looking after my mother's medication uses.

I never miss one of your videos, you are great and extremely explanatory.

The Utube gave me lots of information on this medication!! Gave me what I needed to know

I have been taking Duloxetine 30 mg for seven days and have stopped taking it since today because of the side effects. I hope that I will be spared withdrawal symptoms .

I am hooked on your vid. I like the format you use. Can you do your usual precise way of dissecting on tabrecta? thanks. Tabrecta is a fairly new drug for lung cancer i assume you may know that already.

My husband was given Cymbalta for nerve pain after a surgery and chemo. He had a few episodes where I would describe him as "not being himself". I'll leave it at that just to be nice about it. Turns out his VA oncologist DID NOT titrate the medication and he just went straight to 20 mgs a day. Listen to pharmacist people! Find yourself one that is eager to answer your questions and suggests questions to go back to your doctor with. Thank you for this video 😊

This shit iS HORRIBLE to come off of, doctor didn't tell me and I suffered from brain ZAPS and hot and cold flashes and nausea for MONTHS . They shouldn't be giving this crap to anyone. :/

Thank you for this informational video! I was recently prescribed Duloxetine for anxiety due to my job and took it for 2 days. It made me feel so weird/ out of it/ weak/ dizzy/ and ZERO appetite for 48 hours. I'm relatively fit and exercise regularly, so I knew I would not be able to continue with my exercise routine feeling like this. I was also incredibly TIRED/SLEEPY. The second dose literally made me sleep on and off the whole day. I'm on my 3rd day and have decided I'm not continuing with this drug. I'm still very tired today and I had a good 9 hours of sleep ON TOP OF sleeping on and off all day yesterday. I am also taking Bupropion, which I've been on for over a year, but my doctor thought I needed something more due to my responses to her wellness questionnaire. I will admit that I don't know how well Buproprian works, but I think it does help some. I'd rather just keep on with the Buproprian and manage my stress/ anxiety through exercise, getting quality sleep & drinking alcohol in moderation.

Awesome video. Thank you.

I agree with most people here saying thank you for this video. I’ve had many of these side effects that were so bad I had to go to the ER cuz my stomach started changing negatively and I always got a vasovagal response so I increased my fiber dramatically and that seemed to work but I never new when I would have that issue again and beg for ice. Lol The dehydration is killer and it’s annoying as all hell also. I just don’t recommend ever taking this for depression. The sweating in my face is annoying. Also, It caused more problems for me cuz I’ve been on it for 6 years. My body won’t let me get off it due to withdrawal symptoms which would cause the vasovagal response all over again and fall over in pain, sweat and near pass clean out. Plus, I have high blood pressure. 😂 I tried to get off but doc said it doesn’t do under 30mgs and if I ever went cold turkey I feel chronic motion sickness, anxiety, and pain through out my body. I don’t feel the same at all.

One of the worst medication it gave me Panic,depersonalization,tinnitus,destroy muscles,confusion,mood swings,increased depression ,weak body and it has the worst withdrawals be careful before take it

Loved the presentation of information I have SLE Lupus and just been recently put on this and I'm nervous I don't want withdrawals!

I’ve noticed my eyesight been blurry while taking this stuff

Mighty GOD help us 😢 . I too was given this prescription. So I said to myself, let me seek more information before I consume. What the heck !!!😢 Thanks for sharing

Been taking for 3 days and already feel quite odd. Idk how to explain it but I just feel dull or not really here. Have had horrible diarrhea and all around poor mental clarity. I’m writing this as a warning for anyone thinking about taking it.

I started 30mg today with caution for my Hamstring and Back pain. I am scared of reading majority negative reviews on internet . Excellent video. Thanks.

Hello.I have neuropathy. And I had two years of this situation and I checked the neurologists and gave me this treatment: Duloxetine 30meg and Semazin 5meg, and I did not benefit from a better treatment. Thank you.

earnestene janes how often shoulde i go to the doctor

I’ve had chronic pain for eight years . Three failed back surgeries, failed spinal procedures, narcotics failed as well for pain control.. also diabetic, and misdiagnosed with ms... was just put on this drug. Is this “ mind over matter”? Or will this work for me?? Also have diabetic nerve pain!

Can Dilantin 2/4. 100mg 2xs daily - Gabapentin 1- 300mg 2xs daily and Cymbalta 1-1x daily 20mg be taken together?

How common is high blood sugar when on cymbalta.

I was just given 20 mg of this by my doctor today, because the 20 mg of Lexapro stropped working. What are your thoghts on using this in combination with Lexapro or perhaps being able to come off the Lexapro if this works? Thanks.

What is the lowers dose one Can take? Is it a medicin you Can take when needed or it has to Be every day ?

Hey, great video! I do have a question, though. On my prescription bottle, there is a sticker saying to "do not take non-prescribed drugs containing aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen without consent of you physician." Would this be because of the kidneys issue? Thank you.

It gave me the worst insomnia I’ve ever had, and heart palpitations. I couldn’t sleep AT ALL. And the doctors wanted me to keep taking it and I was like dude I can’t work on zero sleep for weeks.

I just took one yesterday and today I have chills and diarrhea and nausea I'm guessing I shouldn't take and consult my doctor.

If take now , not working for me ,is there an better meds

Can this be taken alongside buprenorphine pain patch?

Was prescribed these for depression today, have been switched from Mirtazapine to Duloxitine, wish me luck.

Hi I got prescribed duluxetine for pain but it's not helping and I just don't feel any emotion now could that be side effects many thanks for your video

Good day Doctor I have been on it for almost a year I'm on 60 MG how long is too long to get on it I'm 66yrs old and also have high blood pressure

It takes two weeks for the drug to come into effect. These two weeks have been really tough. From China.

Has anyone had issues with tinnitus after or during taking Cymbalta? I already have tinnitus and am absolutely not willing to risk taking a medication that could make it worse.

I'm taking tramadol and duloxetine.. q different doctor did blood tests and i came out pre diabetic... I have has done suicide behavior but i know i don't want to die. It's not really lowering my neuropathy due to a avulsion.. thoughts? Sounds i just taper off?

Weaned off of it a week ago. Tried taking it from July 2019 till the New Year, and I never got any better. I’ve had severe depression, suicidal thoughts and problems with eating (appetite), nausea, fatigue, problems with sleeping and nightmares ever since I started it.

My Father has been using this medicine for two years now. Can you use it for such a long time? Hepatitis C and sever itching have also occurred. If left unmanaged, They can be left astray and lose the right path. If there is any substitute for it please let them know. I am great Thank Full to you. So that my Father can use any other medicine besides it. And answer me as soon as possible. I look forward to hearing from you. Thanx

I haven’t been on duloxitine very long, taking it for extreme degenerative spinal stenosis, and many other chronic pain associated with arthritis. I thought it would help so I can get away from NORCO. I don’t know now.

Does it have interaction with toredol and methocarbenol

Can it be safely used with ckd ?

I recently took Duloxetine but my physician did not mention reducing nsaids or Tramadol, both of which I take for post knee surgery pain. The following morning I had some blood mixed with urine at my first going to the bathroom. Nothing afterwards. When you refer to bleeding is one possible exit point with urination? Again, nothing since and I quit taking the Duloxetine. Thanks.

My psychiatrist prescribed me Duloxetine for my Adhd, bc stimulants are banned in my country. I'm taking it for 3 days now and side-effects are awful and I feel like it makes my adhd even worse. My mind feels foggy and clouded and my autism symptoms are worse I can't control my stimms. I think, I'll visit my doctor and change meds

Would you agree with prescribing for a 84yr male/occasional drinker (vodka;) high blood pressure, uses inhalers/digoxin, warfarin, statex, morphine sulfate, i know im missing a couple......the reason for the medication is pain. I dont know why, it doesnt sit well with me when i go over the scenerio...

In my instance, I’ve been prescribed tramadol as well as . I was at a point that I was going to harm myself because I can’t cope with my conditions . So my dr prescribed both at the same time . I slept I ate I can function.

I have been on cymbalta for 5 years. I weaned off it over 5 months. Reducing the beads right down to only 40 beads in the last week. I still got withdrawal symptoms. Brains zaps, feelings fluey, legs feeling a little off.

I have been on the medicine now for two weeks. My nerve pain is much better. My only side effect as been constapation.

Does this cause leg pain?

Been nauseous so bad and I only take 60 mg once a day for now 4 years oh I can’t wait for my meds back can’t do this

Damm if I take a dose of 60mg in the morning and then chug 4 beers in the afternoon, will that screw up my liver bad?

Should I be talking ziprasidone and deultxtine together

Thanks...30mg it seems to help with general body pain and discomfort from Inclusion Body Myositis...question: I take 2 mg xanax at bedtime...it puts me to sleep...no problem here I hope?

I am someone that have seizures would this medicine be a good medicine for me to take for depression

In terms of withdrawal, the loss of appetite is very depressing and serious, there are more serious withdrawal symptoms that need to be listed to the public, the most important ones being suppressed emotions, sexual dysfunction (including numbness in genitals), and feeling suicidal/ hopeless.

I have taken just two pills as advised by doctor, now I m facing sexual disfunction as lyk erection problem of my penis...What should I do I am pretty afraid

Im,on 2mg alprazolam 2x a day and now in this should i be concerned

I take Meloxicam 15mg in the morning and Duloxetine 60mg in the afternoon and amitriptyline 25 mg at bedtime. None of my doctors told me about any interactions. Do you think I should be concerned????

GRRRR is there no pill that exists without the side effects drymouths dehydration and headaches? i got a major issue with that. they all dehydrate me and make me feel like shit

My family dr seemed to randomly perscribe me 30mg of this... I picked up my blister pack today (all my current meds are from a detox dr from a psychologist or psychiatrist.) And I recently started Vyvanse. Now out of nowhere I have an extra pill at night and it's duleatine. (Family dr) should I take it? I am confused...

Thanks

just switched from methacarbamol and meloxicam to this 60MG dose off the bat and wowww does it cure my insomnia

I started 20 mg . 3 days ago. I asked the Dr. Specifically if I should be concerned about taking 50 mg. Of Tramadol daily with the cymbalta. In the video you single out Tramadol..How concerned should I be ?

I've just been prescribed this I'm also on gabapentin I havent taken deloxatine yet.

Does methadone affect the effect of duloxetine?im on methadone treatment since 2 years and im very depressed,moody,no energy since few months ..i was prescribed duloxetine bcs i had the simptoms described earlier (but desapeared once i started methadone ,but now i guess i catched tolerance on mtdone and i rlly cannot go more up with dosage cuz im already on 100-120 mg daily)but never took it(the duloxetine).still have it home, can i start duloxetine if im on methadone ?thank u,greetings from Romania

Just one of the last slides says "Metal Status" instead of "Mental Status". Initially I thought it was related to iron levels.

Im on my second day taking this medication (one xdaily at bed time. But Im taking in in the morning since the first night it kept me up all night) I am taking 40mg per day. I am experiencing dry mouth, runny stool, upset stomach, lack of appetite, and this morning I felts some face twitching that may, or may not be related but Im a bit concerned. I was told by my APN/primary care provider this symptoms would subside eventually. (?) I was prescribed this med for chronic lower back pain

I took one 30mg dose and I feel horrible. I am not going to take anymore. What can I do to stop the feelings of extreme tiredness, no appetite, feeling extremely low energy?

yeah doctor had me on this a few days ago. diarrhea vomiting and blood oxygen dipping down to 70... i had to keep moving for a few hours to keep my blood ovygen at 85. til it wore off.

I can't rub a little one because of this med

I usee 9 years and today continue.

Excellent medication but increases a lot my tinnitus. Too bad. If only they found a way to neutralize this side effect, which is very disturbing.

Been off it for 5 days now cause I don’t have the money right now ..

Don't start taking Cymbalta if you're not planning on staying on it for the rest of your life. Of course you'll read a bunch of positive experiences, that's because they haven't experienced the horrors of withdrawal yet.

I can’t drink alcohol at all if so start this? Ever?

Heart ache ?

Add terrible nightmares and brain zaps to withdrawal.

I take 120mg a day for nerve damage. It's generally good. But I do have alot of sweat and withdrawals basically when I forget to take them is a challenge

I've been on 120mgs of duloxetine for a few years now. It definitely helps with my depression but I also have to deal with alot of the side effects as well. I'm actually scared to death to even try lower my dosage, because the withdrawal effects are so horrible. I can never let myself run out of it, I would not be able to function properly.

Horrendous drug to discontinue. Twice pushed to take it. Never again!

Also no relief from spinal cord stimulation implant

Weight issues? Weight gain? Difficulty in loosing weight? Hormone interactions?

I have nausea with the medicine, And I have dry mouth. With the nausea, comes weird dull nauseating sick cramps. Please, I want to keep taking this medicine because it really really helps my depression, but what can I take extra to stop the nausea. Thanks

What are the interactions between sumatriptan and 60mg cymbalta? I take sumatriptan with zofran for chronic migraines.

When does one take duloxetine

Damn my doc she prescribed Dulaxatine and plus Tramadol and Naproxen i think she wants to kill me yup angels of death

Cymbalta is one of the hardest things I have ever quit. Quitting adderall wasn't as hard. The withdrawals are no joke. I'm not suicidal at all like some but the withdrawals from this stuff makes you feel like you're dying. You will get jitters, brain zaps, burning sensations, bad dry mouth, and facial paresthesia. I would not recommend this drug to anyone. Try something safe like Prozac or Lexapro. Even switching from this drug to Prozac gives you severe withdrawals. LIKE SERIOUSLY... DON'T TAKE CYMBALTA.

Has anyone ever have like a chemical smell comming from them.i just went up to 90mg i have been on 60 for over a year

Withdrawing from this medication is impossible without horrible side effects.

I’m on day 1 of Cymbalta and already experienced nausea at almost 5:00 this morning…wtf?

Never take that pill extremely horrible

It makes anxiety much worse and it is poison to your body

I have been taking duloxetine for 6 sh years. My doctor refilling it . I was on 90 dose. I feel like crap I have called her many times. Only her receptionist calls me back. I feel very betrayed.

this stuff raised my blood pressure to high. had to stop taking it.

I’ve gone from a cane to a walker, and part time in a wheelchair

Lasted 4 days on this. Never again. Its been a wk and I still don't feel right.

I threw mine away. I'm not taking poison

i have been on this for 7 years it doesnt work at all but my dr says he has nothing else for me. ahahahhah i have tried a few other pills nothing works so i am weening off this drug,,, i am also on gabapantine another drug that doesnt help my nerve pain in my feet for 7 years and i am on hydroxyquin, my specialist said to do all three and i have told him for yrs they dont work,,,,help i am in pain all day for 7 yrs,, please message me.

Horrible horrible horrible drug. Avoid this debilitating drug.
