I've been at 30mg of Cybalta for a week and now at 60mg for a week. If I accidentally miss a dose I just can't sit still. Anxiety or akathesia? I dont' know. But it doesn't go away untill I take my Cymbalta. Does this mean I'm becoming addicted? Is it a withdraw symptom?
thanks,
dm

I had severe akathasia on Lexapro- it was a living nightmare.
I felt like my insides were going to explode, my mind would race, I would pace the floor for hours, I could not get comfortable in my own skin.It ended up making me suicidal becuase I felt this way NON stop, could not sleep, and it just felt endless/hopeless.
If this continues maybe you should decrease the dosage back down to 30 mg's. When my mom went up to 60mg's she had a horrible panic attack and had to be dropped back down. Maybe it's just too much for you.
But, if the restlessness/anxiety becomes too much, ask the doctor for a temporary benzo and if they won't give you one, then use Benadryl.

Talk to your pdoc about lowering the dose if you didn't have side effects at the lower dose. Fondly, Phillipa
