View Full Version : duloxetine
the doctor has just swapped my pills AGAIN! lol I'm on 30mg a night. I took the first one last night. I felt ok after taking it but when i went to bed my heart started thumping in my chest and I couldn't go to sleep. has anyone else had this? does it get better? I'm so sick of changing pills and I want to give these a chance but I can't go without sleep as that always guarantees an increase in my anx and depression :(

hi Summer I have taken duloxetine/cymbalta for about six weeks. I was started on 60mg with a view to reduce the dothiepin that I was already taking. Unfortunatly I experienced severe side effects nausea and giddiness and my consultant thought this was unacceptable so I stopped taking it immediately. I had high hopes for this drug as it is a newer snri so works differently to an ssri. I think that side effects are to be expected when trying a new drug. Allow at least a month to six weeks before assessing any benefit from it. If sleepness become a feature of this new drug then I would ask the docs for something to help you sleep. Maybe you were nervous as this is something new for you. I wish you well with it. Try to allow a reasonable length of time before deciding whether it is working for you.
thankyou lol the only trouble Ive had so far is the lack of sleep but since my original post I've noticed another side effect...i was as high as a kite. i was all giggley and hyper :S really weird. its calmed down now but im about to take my dose so up i go again lol has anyone else had this??
