Duloxetine (30mg) for neuralgia

I use Cymbalta for neuralgia. i am happy with it, it takes the edge of the pain, so it is bearable. The first couple of weeks less alert and tired though.

Duloxetine (30mg) for anxiety disorder

After years of depression and fear and the use of 5 anti depressants, I lived for 5 years without medication. I preffered to be afraid and depressed to being a zombie. Then I started cymbalta. I can feel the sun again. I have my life back. I do dream a lot, but that is well worth it.

Duloxetine (60mg) for depression

because of long-term relationship problems and working too hard I was really suffering with palpitations, shivering followed by hyperventilation and mood swings. I fought against taking anti depressants for years. But I ended up developing all kinds of anxiety phobias and couldn't leave my house any more, which meant I couldn't do anything. After 2 weeks I found it easier to leave my bed and sl...

Duloxetine (60mg) for anxiety disorder

pay close attention. don't take this unless you absolutely have to. Since I've been taking it I really struggle to urinate and I feel really dreamy at certain moments. Something particularly dangerous when you're driving.

Duloxetine (30mg) for depression

Took Fevarin for 25 years and stopped now for a couple of years. In 2013 some symptoms that I recognised came back and went straight to a psychiatrist. Once again not enough serotonin and prescribed Cymbalta. Started briefly with 30 mg then 60 mg. first 2 weeks bit nauseous but that's normal and it's gone now. I'm really active again and happy all the time. Awesome!

Duloxetine (30mg) for chronic depression

I had been taking calming tablets for years. They just made me drowsy but didn't solve the real issues. That was until my doctor prescribed me Cymbalta. For the first three weeks I was a bit dulled but once that went away I had never felt so good and my life has become a bit more relaxed as a result. I don't stress about things the way I used to and can enjoy life again. And since I started tak...

Duloxetine (60mg) for anxiety & panic disorder

Been taking this now for 8 weeks. The first 7 weeks no effect. Increased from 30 mg to 60 mg and 90 mg. On 120 mg for 1 week now and it's starting to work. Peace at last! Am happy that I persisted with is because I really didn't feel like it and wanted another medicine. But the psychiatrist said to increase it first and see if it helps me to feel whole. Also, hasn't switched my emotions off.
