Thank you Angela for the feedback. I am getting ready to start today. Let's follow up with each other on how it's going. 😃
I took Cymbalta/Duloxatine for almost 12 years. No weight gain and some pain relief. The biggest side effect I hated was it diminished my libido to 0. That is why I stopped taking it. I love my sweet husband more than I can explain and I missed the intimacy part of our marriage. I've been off it for 3 months and my libido is finally returning.
I , honestly, would ask your pharmacist! Mine are AMAZING!!! I am on a ton of Psych Meds., with some medical ones as well, so they know my history, everything I am on, all the side effects, and they have a clinical site where they are able to look up a medication like that, and see if it is legit. You can even call up to most pharmacies and leave a message and leave a message for them asking them to call you back with your question. I use CVS (from MO., so not sure if you have one, but you.can probably use Walgreens as well). My pharmacy calls me back within an hour. I nearly got scammed on this over-the-counter vitamin called Back-Biome! Luckily, my credit card company declined payment for it, because they recognized it was a scam!!! I am so very thankful because it was a special for like 3 bottles for like $100.00. I was desperate for relief, so I agreed to “The better deal!” You can also go on the Better Business Bureau ‘s website and get information on if the company is a scam.
Hi Cheryl I take it and dont find any side effects at all. You can always try it and if you find you have some side effects you can always go off of it.
