Sorry for all the Cymbalta posts but I just started it yesterday. I felt great yesterday. I woke up today and was dizzy a little nauseous and sweaty so I didn’t feel great. now I’ve been up about an hour and I just feel a little weak but I’m not feeling as bad. Is that a normal reaction to have in the beginning? Thank you for all the advice! ❤️

Members shared a wide range of experiences when starting Cymbalta, with several describing common initial side effects like dizziness, nausea, sweating, and feeling wired or spacey that often resolved as the body adjusted to the medication. Some members offered practical advice including documenting all symptoms for doctor visits, starting at a lower dose like 20mg before increasing, and calling a pharmacist or doctor if symptoms feel severe or concerning. A recurring theme was that everyone responds differently to the same medication, with some members finding long-term success on Cymbalta while others experienced serious reactions requiring immediate discontinuation or hospitalization.

So an update is the doctor called in 20 mg for me to try and as of right now my body is definitely adjusting to it. I’m starting to feel much better. I only have a week of the 20 mg left, so I just called to ask the doctor if she wants me too continue on the 20 Or try the the 30 mg again. Thankfully it just seemed to be my body trying to adjust to the medication.

I have no problems with cymbalta. I did have problems with meds prescribed before I was put on it. Guess we know why their are so many different types of medications for the same issues. We all can react differently

It’s crazy how so many people act differently to it. I feel a little better than I did when I first started a couple days ago but I’m still very tired and spacey. I don’t seem to have nausea anymore. 🤞

Do you know how many milligrams of Cymbalta they had you on? I’ve never heard of anybody that passed out from it before. I’m glad you’re OK

Stop the Cymbalta and call your doctor immediately your body is rejecting it and you are reacting on the allergic side!
