For the year and a half I was on Cymbalta, I was talking and yelling in my sleep. I had such vivid dreams too, and kicked the side of the bed so hard (was being attacked in my dream) my heel still hurts months later even though I didn't wake up at the time. I only know because my fiance tells me of my nightly sleep adventures the next day!
I recently stopped Cymbalta, and my sleep had been much calmer and quiet. Just curious if that's something common.

I take my cymbalta in the mornings and sleep is much better. My GP advised this when I complained of not being able to sleep after taking 10mg of Ambien every night. No more crazy dreams either. Hope this helps someone :)
I did, and didn't take it for very long, the nightmares were far to realistic and would wake with my heart beating from fright! I'm not able to take any of the FM meds. Either side effects like the flu, or sleepwalk, they need to come up with something else! Instead I take a NSAID for OA, pain med, muscle relaxers, melatonin for sleep.
Same for me. My husband told me I was kicking in my sleep and that I told him I was fighting . . . With Superman!
I have never screamed in my sleep with Cymbalta but I do have vivid dreams. Have hurt myself sometimes. @A MyFibroTeam Member they have a new cpap mask that barely puts any pressure on the face. Makes a difference. I couldn't use my mask for months before I went to my pulmonary doctor and got the new mask. Now I can sleep with it and get better sleep.
