In reply to CYMBALTA ratings 1-10, and effects on anx and dep, posted by qbsbrown on February 24, 2005, at 16:52:07
Anixety - 8 - Didn't care about much one way or the other.
Depression - 1
Pain management - 9
Hot Flashes - 7
Weight gain - WAY TOO MUCH FOR ME!
Side Effects - @20 mg. Initally, severe headache 24/7 that lasted about 1 week. Diarrhea for about 3 weeks and after each dose increase. Drowsiness that eventually went away with time.
Started Cymbalta first week in October 2004. Maximum dose 40 mg. Stopped at February 2005 due to depression, steady weight gain (15 lbs.) and excessive gas 24/7.
Side-effects after stopping were the worst I had ever experienced to this date. Just now feeling better.
