In reply to Cymbalta Insomnia- Trazedone?, posted by ShellyM on December 16, 2005, at 9:20:39
> I've been on Cymbalta for a month for anxiety and panic attacks. My anxiety and panic is much improved. The bad news is that I am having insomnia since being on the Cymbalta (something to do with neoeph?) and can not sleep.

> I am going to talk to my Pdoc about something to help me sleep- I was thinking of Trazedone, ...While this is only anecdotal, the insomnia I experienced when I started Cymbalta went away on its own. I'd give it a solid six to eight weeks -- I know, UGH! -- to see if it will do that for you, too.
And something like Ambien would be my first choice for insomnia, frankly, since that's what it's made for. I'd bet that a few days of it, to break the cycle of insomnia, would be enough to get you back on track.
Congratulations, by the way, on your good response to Cymbalta.
