I just came off lamictal, which was making me worse, and lithium, which wasnt having any effect, and my pdoc decided to try cymbalta. I took my first dose (30mg) last night and was sick all night long - nausea, diarrhea, sweating, and lots of dizziness. Obviously I do not want to do that again! Is it possible to split open the capsle and take half the beads? My concern is that since it's delayed release, doing that may somehow mess up that system. I seem to rememeber trying that with effexor once years ago and getting sick when I did it, but I also in withdrawls from the drug then so it's hard to say. The dr did mention that there are 20mg pills available but he didnt have samples of them and because of my financial situation I'd rather not buy anything until I see if I can tolerate it.
Thanks everyone for your help!
