I HAVE BEEN HAVING PANIC ATTACKS FOR YEARS. AT FIRST, MY DOCTOR PRESCRIBED XANAX, WHICH WORKED VERY WELL, UNTIL I GOT USE TO IT. SHE THEN INCREASED THE DOSE. I HAVE BEEN TAKING 1 MG. XANAX 4 TIMES A DAY FOR YEARS NOW. THEY NO LONGER WORK AS WELL AS THEY USE TO. WHEN I INFORMED HER OF THIS, SHE ALSO GAVE ME A PRESCRIPTION FOR CYMBALTA. ( 30 MG.BID ).
TONIGHT WILL BE THE FIRST TIME THAT I'M TAKING IT. ALONG WITH 1 MG. OF XANAX, BECAUSE OF NIGHT TERRORS& PANIC ATTACKS IN MY SLEEP.
CAN ANYONE OUT THERE GIVE ME ANY INFORMATION ABOUT CYMBALTA ? I WAS TOLD THAT IT HELPS PAIN MEDICATIONS BECOME A BIT STRONGER, WHICH IS GOOD FOR ME, BECAUSE I AM IN A LOT OF PAIN CONSTANTLY, AND TAKE MULTIPLE PAIN MEDICATIONS.I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT IT HELPS PANIC ATTACKS. WHICH I ALSO GET OFTEN, EITHER AWAKE OR IN MY SLEEP. IF YOU KNOW OF ANY SIDE EFFECTS, OR ANY OTHEER KIND OF INFORMATION ABOUT CYMBALTA, PLEASE,LET ME KNOW YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH THIS DRUG AS SOON AS YOU ARE ABLE.
I ALWAYS WORRY WHEN STARTING A NEW DRUG!
THANKS PEOPLE!
