Get to your dr asap and decrease the dose!!! I went through the same thing, I've been on cymbalta for several years now, at one point my doc upped my dose to 120mg and I pretty much had a psychotic break from it. Started out with jitters, anxiety, couldn't sleep, then progressed quickly to not sleeping for 5 days and becoming suicidal. As soon as my dr laid eyes on me he said "whoa, we need to back off the cymbalta NOW" I take 60mg a day now and I do really well on that:)
I was on it and it made me very jittery. It felt like my skin was crawling. I feel it surpressed my moods so much that I couldn't feel anything.
Me Too. Lyrica made me so sleepy and groggy there was no point in taking it if I was gunna sleep my life away it made me puffy I gained weight and the best part was it gave me slime o vision. My eye sight got so bad it was like having vasolen in my eyes. Buzzare what Meds can cause to diff people.
I have had great experience w cymbalta. Helps w my anxiety astronomically and no more sugar cravings like I was having on zoloft.
I am sorry your reaction to it hasn't been good. I know how maddening that can be.
Yes I was like a walking. Zombie. I couldnt sleep i talked in my sleep not a good. Drug not for me i was really. Shaky. Off balance
