Starting Cymbalta

Posted by sndg311 on August 26, 2004, at 5:57:52

Just to let everyone know I will be starting at 20mg twice a day starting on friday 8-27-04. Doc says all his research states that this is the best way to start the meds. I will update as much as I can.

Let me know how starting at that dose works. My doctor gave me samples of 60mg capsules and said that is all the rep gave him. I've always been one to take only 20mg Prozac, Paxil, etc. and think I need to start lower.

Well there has been a change of plans. My doctor talked to the rep today who stated to prescribe cymbalta at 30mg once daily at any time of the day for 1 week then start 60mg once a day at anytime of the day. Walgreens says it will be here tomorrow so I will keep everyone posted onn how it goes over the weekend.

Good. That will move us up to two data points, yourself and SLS. From the sound of it, SLS had a relatively neutral response, but its early yet.

Ok I took my first 30mg dose last night and did not sleep worth a crap. But then again I have not slept well all week. I woke up this morning a little light headed and hazy. I am not in a fog but hazy. I am able to function. Its not that bad just feels like my equalibriam is off. I think I will try and take the next dose in the morning on Sunday and go from there. About a hour or so after taking the dose last night It felt like I had a buzz almost felt high but this morning I am very calm and relaxed and really not have any of the anxiety symptons I have been dealing with because of a very busy stressfull life. In later posts I may go into those details. All in all the startup has not been that bad. I will update again tommorow night.
