"basically the time before when you may have had sex or masturbated, some semen went the wrong way and into the urinary bladder... so that now when youre peeing there is something at the end of your urine stream ... that lost semen!"I'm not having sex, or masturbating. My doctor told me it was happening because I'm diabetic. Semen and urine can mix with diabetes, but regardless it never happened until I started taken Cymbalta. Not only that my diabetes went dangerously low after I started taking Cymbalta. Despite the fact I was eating regularly. That made me shake, and everyone kept asking if I was having a nervous break down. I also had a lot of the symptoms mentioned above, including consistent headaches, and stomachaches (be sure you take Cymbalta with milk or something to eat, even that didn't keep me from getting stomachaches.)
"I switched over to Cymbalta. The side effects were lessened, but since I have been off the Cymbalta for a few days I have been having the most sexually charged dreams, it is ridiculous. Yet I still have no interest in having sex. Definitely feel like I am going crazy. I feel what you are going through, have you thought about Wellbutrin? "
It's funny you say this, the only time I can get an erection with Cymbalta is when I'm dreaming. When I'm awake there is no sexual desire, and no erections "when I try." I had the same side effects with Paxil. My depression went away with Paxil and I felt great for seven years. Unfortunately Paxil isn't the best medication for someone who is bipolar. It made me manic all the time. No wonder it made me feel good. I went on a lot of shopping sprees while on Paxil. I went on a three week vacation to Europe, and bought a brand new Audi. Which would have been okay IF I HAD A JOB. Now I have credit card bills I can't pay off. I didn't go on any more shopping sprees till I started Cymbalta seven months ago. I bought a Yamaha rack system, a HDTV Sony TV and stand. Forty DVD movies, and 150 CD's in that time. I have a job now, but I went through all my savings that I needed to pay off my credit cards with. I hate Cymbalta for what it has done to me. I hate my doctor for putting me on it. He called me today to make sure I see him on Monday. Until then he wants me to take 30mgs of Cymbalta ever other day. I am also on Wellbutrin XL, and Klonopin, Buspar, and Lamictal. I went on Cymbalta because Wellbutrin wasn't helping my depression.
Take care,
David
