Cymbalta worked great for me but the side effect of chronic constipation was frustrating and caused a bacterial infection in my stomach. Then there is the FDA's name for the withdrawal process you will go through. "Cymbalta withdrawal syndrome". There are many lawsuits currently against the makers for not being honest about it and patients having severe problems for up to 2 years after coming off of it.

I have been on welbrutrin 100 once a day and my doctor increased it to 150 twice a day. That left me with almost no short term memory and really messed with my coordination . So now he wants me to try the cymbalta . I am going to give it a try and see how it works .

Penelope, I think so!

I started the cymbalta yesterday and had an allergic reaction to it. So that's off the table. I will go back to welbrutrin
