This is my 3rd day on cymbalta 60mg. I take it when I get up...around 7a.m..
Then I have to go back to bed for 3 hrs as I get too tired???
I'm now typing this post and I can barely see the monitor... vision is getting worse... extremely jittery. My head feels like it's being compressed, hard to describeI had been taking 0.5 clonazepam twice a day but have increased it to 4 times a day to help deal with the side effects.
I'm still taking remeron 15mg. and have been the past 2 years for sleep so I know thats not causing these side effects.
I've been takind A/D's for 21 years and this is the worst I've felt as far as start-up side effects go. And I read so many reports of just how clean a med cymbata is? Just goes to show how different us humans are?
I have to go to work tomorrow, but not feeling like this! I have zoloft and nortriptyline in my cupboard and will be switching back if this continues.
Oh, did I mention the chronic nasuea for 6 hrs after taking cymbalta? GEEZ.
I don't think taking it at night will help much other than sleeping through some of the nausea. Yes, I know it's only day 3 but it's hard to rationalize my current state given I was doing better on zoloft/remeron.
I am trying, believe me, but these feelings are bringing me back 20 years to when I first started out on Asendin!!
Sorry for the rant, I think I'm going back to bed.
Regards, Rick
