In reply to Cymbalta-- sedating? activating? both?, posted by Tabitha on September 30, 2016, at 12:25:22
I took cymbalta 30mg twice daily in 2003, it's activating because it works on norepinephrine, and serotonin, it's similar to effexor in stimulating effects but not compeltely......
it may be the serotonin receptiors that's cauing drowsiness, maybe ask your doctor to take 1 in morning and 1 in afternoon, or switch to effexor ... effexor is very effective with depression, very effective, but the only thing is it's withdrawl, i've read bad things about getting off effexor, but still maybe a low dose could help, higher doses such as 225-300mg are the ones that have significant withdrawl effects
maybe ask for something to help you stay alseep, at night, a benzo, what ever that will get you to sleep and stay asleep
cybalta defiently is good for pain, it works with nerve pain, and various others, but some of it's antidepressant effects arent as strong as effexor......
not a genius but understand pain
"unheard pain is told through good company
