Cymbalta surprise

Posted by daisym on December 1, 2005, at 11:36:22

I had a pdoc appointment yesterday. I've been on Cymbalta for 5 weeks now, in combination with a low does of Wellbutrin. (150xl). I had a horrible time adjusting to the Cymbalta but it definately took away the anxiety and suicidal feelings. I haven't experienced a dampening of my emotions, if anything, I'm more weepy.

But I mentioned that I'd had a couple of nose bleeds and some break through bleeding between periods. And a bruise or two that I didn't know how I got. I'm clumsy, so no big deal I thought. Well...he got this look and sighed and said that maybe SSRIs weren't going to be possible for me. There is some anecdotal stuff about platelet changes and he said he has seen it in his practice enough to be cautious about it. I'm going to cut out aspirin and we are going to watch things for another month. He didn't look hopeful and the only reason he agreed to another month was because I was so resistant to switching.

I'm so disappointed because it took me so long to get use to this medication. Anyone else run into this?
