hello, this is my first post since following this thread since the beginning. I want to help , but I need feedback from anyone who has had positive results from Cymbalta. I have been on 60mg for 2 weeks and feel anxious, depressed and can't sleep, but haven't had the intolerable side effects (bad ones)that have occured with other antidepressants. How long before I should know if this is the right one for me?

I was on Cymbalta at 30mg for a month, then 60mg for a month and I felt like an unemotional zombie. I talked with my pharmacist and he said he felt this was long enough and we did not yet know of the long-term side effects. Since it was not working for me, and because of the terrible time some people were having coming off Effexor which is the only other SNRI I know of, I am decreasing and weaning off Cymbalta. Currently down to l0mg with only 4 capsules left. There are some more current Threads on Cymbalta also. Lots of luck. Phillipa

What's the latest on cymbalta? Has this thread pooped out too?

On another note, Scott, have you heard about the selegiline patch (I believe it's being, or will be, marketed under the name Emsam)?

Has anyone ever heard of getting very emotional on Cymbalta? I only took it one day and waws way out there. Need to decide whether to try again and to stay on it longer.

Thanks,

> What's the latest on cymbalta? Has this thread pooped out too?

I guess so. I responded to Cymbalta only briefly - for about a week. I have a pattern of responding briefly to antidepressants very early in treatment, usually during the second and third weeks. Of course, I was hoping Cymbalta would be different. I guess you never know until you try.

> On another note, Scott, have you heard about the selegiline patch (I believe it's being, or will be, marketed under the name Emsam)?

I am really not too enthused about selegiline because I had absolutely no positive response to the oral form. Then again, I don't remember going any higher than 30mg/day. Perhaps that was too low. Oh well, at least it will be something to hope for. You never know...

Thanks for the suggestion. I haven't heard about anything that would cause a delay in the approval of EmSam, so that's a positive.

Where are you at with things?

Hi Irene.

> Has anyone ever heard of getting very emotional on Cymbalta? I only took it one day and waws way out there. Need to decide whether to try again and to stay on it longer.

It sounds like an unusual reaction to a single dose of Cymbalta - only because I haven't seen anyone else report that yet. Of course, I don't get to read every post.

Can you be a bit more detailed in your description of what you experienced?

Cymbalta is a powerful drug, as are all of the antidepressants, and I don't doubt for a minute that you could have had such an immediate reaction. This reaction is probably not the desired antidepressant response, though.

"Getting emotional" is not necessarily a bad thing, as it sometimes indicates the very beginnings of a positive response to a medication, especially if the depression itself leaves one emotionless or with flat affect. But I doubt this would apply to you with your regard to your immediate reaction. I will say this, though. Although it usually takes two weeks or longer for an antidepressant to begin working properly, some people describe a brief positive "blip" that can occur withing the first three days.

What other drugs have you tried, and what were your responses to them?

Scott,

The reaction I got did not feel positive in any way. I would describe it as extreme heartache. Although it was not a physical pain it almost felt like it. As if something terrible had happened and I could not wrap my mind around it and deal with it.

I have tried so many medications I do not even remember them all. Several SSRIs with no response at all. Several Maoi's and Parnate and Marplan and Moclobimide worked for several years and then pooped out. They were the only ones that worked. I thought effexor was going to work but I was unable to continue on it because of "interstitial cystitis"(I.C.), a bladder disease. I tried Mirapex and Milnacipran recently. I was unable to take either due to side effects. I was on reboxetine and in combination with Maoi's it helped some. I have been on Ritalin for years and it helped some but not so much any more. I was thinking of trying Adderrall? I had a great affect with Amineptine but had to discontinue it again due to the I.C. and have been unable to reproduce the positive outcome after several tries. I tried Provigil and Modafranil and Tianeptine. Years ago I tried two tricyclics but was not on either long enough to have any antidepressant response. I had some positive result with Amisulpride but my prolactin got very high and it messed with my period and body shape and I have bulimia. I also occasionally take perphenazine; long ago I took a lot and was a zombie. ( bad pdoc bad clinic) When I stopped the Amisulpride the second time a tapered onto the perphenazine and it seemed that I got a similar response like the Amisulpride but not as uplifted.

I have tried many more to include several stimulant medications, as I seem to have a positive response to stimulating meds but have not been able to tolerate others again the I.C. I also tried Lithium and was on Depakote in combination with Parnate. Parnate was like a miracle drug for me for a couple of years. I wish I had had a good therapist at the time to take advantage of feeling so much better. There are more but these were on the tip of my tongue. You have helped me before and I appreciate the input. AndrewB is trying to help me but I cannot start what he has suggested until I am able to go off the oxycontin I am on for bladder pain. By the way the oxycontin was prescribed to be taken for the depression too. It does stop the massive anxiety. Now that I am thinking about it I have had to increase the dose the last few weeks for pain and I realize that I have been much less anxious. I know it but I did not realize why.

Thanks,

irene

Hi everyone!

I have been reading this thread for about 2 hours now.... yall sound very understanding, and I feel like I know some of you already! I just received my sample box of Cymbalta today, and of course had to get the real low down from normal people and not promotion stuff. I just went through an extremely horrible "near death" withdrawal from Effexor XR (which I discontinued because I couldn't remember name, much less be alert for emergency response!- among lots of other things). I have been on Wellbutrin XL for about two months, but for the past few weeks have had the constant broken record in my head about topics to do with my self esteem, social anxiety (even aggitation and LOTS of anxiety). These are my usual problems when I get very depressed (I'm almost certain I have PMDD also). Right now I feel like I have an elephant standing on my chest from the anxiety. BUT HEY!!!! No side effects (go figure). I am hoping the mixture of the Wellbutrin and Cymbalta will help me feel better, I'm just hoping I don't get tons of side effects. Has anyone out there tried this combo? I'm finally back into my normal clothes and can have an orgasm after stopping Effexor. Most of all, What is the withdrawal from Cymbalta like (I don't want to go through another Effexor type withdrawal). Not sure if anyone has got that far yet. Thanks for listening,
Jenna

Hello Jenna
I haven't tried Cymbalta yet. How is is going for you so far?
It is unnerving trying new drugs but also exciting hoping that it is the one.

Good luck.

Iris,
You're not alone. I had quite a strange reaction to Cymbalta just recently. Long story short, prescribed Cymbalta because I'd fallen into a very severe depression. I was taking lithium and St. John's Wort which was doing fine until I hit a bad stress event.

Was leery about an AD because I'm also BP-II and had just also had a dosage change from lithium to depakote and seroquel (I was hospitalized and hence the med change), so there was a lot of med mixing going on. But with Cymbalta at 30mg I had the feeling of doing acid, colors, shifting and sliding landscapes, a 'claw' like feeling in my neck, cramping muscles, extremely emotional. My pupils were dilated and I truly felt there was an intense serotonin thing happening, as there is with psychedelics. I felt that the seroquel was not mixing well with this and didn't like it anyhow.

I ended up throwing away the Seroquel, going back on lithium and holding the Cymbalta at bay because I do feel it was doing 'something' with my mood. I felt absolutely crazy, but not depressed and there were moments of absolute delight. But I was also feeling on the verge of hysteria most of the time.

Two days ago I ditched everything and went back to lithium and St. John's. The very next day I woke up feeling just great, wonderful, as though my brain went though a chemical ECT. I don't understand this and would hate to think the Cymbalta was responsible for this reprieve and oh sh*t, I sure don't want to go back to where I was a month ago.

I'm going to start very slowly back on Cymbalta, a few grains at a time instead of the 30mg at a pop - way to strong for me. I'm interested if I'll experience those same rather extreme and bizarre effects now that my system has cleared out of the other drugs.

Does any one have any thoughts on going very slowly with this drug? Sometimes low amounts do weird things and just prolong the agony of adjustment. - Barbara

Barb--Did all of this happen just recently? I remember seeing your posts about lithium and SJW and how well you were doing not long ago.

Were you taking SJW with the cymbalta? That might really screw things up for you. And I don't know what the half life of SJW is, so I don't know how long you would have to be off of it before starting the cymbalta.

So sorry things went south for you. That sucks!

Sorry I don't have info on cymbalta, I just wanted to offer my support.

Dear Raven,
Thanks so much for your support. I really need it right now as I'm going through one of the hardest times of my life.

No, I wasn't on SJW during Cymbalta. I'll give you some background I hope doesn't take too long. Probably will, because my heart is heavy right now. I was doing quite well on lithium and SJW and then some very stressful events occurred around finances and my husband's inability to find work. He's been very blocked in that area, going through his own stuff but it's been going on 5 years and my disability check (I have fibromyalgia on top of bipolar), is, of course, not enough. He's stuck, we've had some financial hits, and I'm terrified because it also triggers huge childhood survival issues. Nor should a sick woman be continually supporting a healthy man. Big issues that were too much for my minimalist meds support.

I began to get constant panic attacks and once again had a collapse physically and mentally and had to be hospitalized.

In the hospital, I was taken off lithium and put on depakote because my hypothyroidism was worse (lithium isn't good for the thyroid, as I'm sure you know and the hypothyroidism I'm sure made things worse). I was also put on seroquel. This eventually put me into a very lethargic depression and, without the lithium, I began to cycle into an irritable hypomania - the lovely mixed states.

I was already pretty wired as well as despondent when I saw my new psych nurse practitioner. I've been on every SSRI/SNRI in the book and utlimately didn't do well on them, but maybe this 'new Cymbalta' would be different and worth a try.

Mind you, I was not on lithium at this point, only high doses of seroquel (depakote was dropped, but the new thought in psych cicles is that antipsychotics can be used as mood stabilizers alone - wrong in my case).

The first few days of Cymbalta were interesting in that by now I was truly hypomanic and the Cymbalta was adding a weird but interesting psychdelic layer over it - colors, melting watches and so forth, which increased serotonin sometimes causes. But soon I began to have very uncomfortable physical symptoms of a claw-like pressure in my neck and throat and a contraction in my muscles, dizzyness, my pupils were dilated, my eyes staring, I was hearing and feeling electricity all around and in me, couldn't sleep and feeling very anxious.

I looked at this wild woman in the mirror and said 'screw this, I'm going back on lithium'. I dropped the Cymbalta and seroquel (never liked it) and went back on lithium and SJW. For a a few days I had wonderful peace and normalcy, a taste of what it must, and used to be like. But then the torrent of sadness hit, wrenching sobbing, scenes of every painful event of my life ripping through me and all I can do is sob. I can't get anything done. The house looks like a tornado came through and all I can do is stare at the piles and can make no sense of them. My husband is depressed as well and so we're quite a pair. I don't want to stop this grief from coming up, even though I wonder how many times I have to go through with processing it. Putting an antidepressant on what's coming up for me would be like trying to stop Niagra Falls with a cork.

But I can't deplete myself with the stress of what I'm going through. It's definitely PTSD and I don't need to live through that again - but the pain of it is finally coming up. So I need lithium for sure, I know that, I need a gentle AD and I need BENZOs, lots of them, to find some gentleness, some soothing.

I don't know if the combo of meds I was on, especially the Seroquel, interacting with the Cymbalta, or that fact I was not on lithium at the time and if I should give it a chance once the bipolar element is stable. But I look at the side effects, my past history with SSRI type meds and think 'do I want to go there?'. No, I want to do this another way that does not suppress whatever process I need to go through and yet does not exaggerate it either.

So thanks for letting me talk, Raven. I really really needed a friend right now. - Barbara

You're not alone. My husband has been out of work since we moved. He tried to start his own business but it's too seasonal here. Now, after l l/2yrs, he can't get his old job back. This after they assured him that he always could. His twin sister's husband works at the same job there, and there are just no jobs now. We chose pdocs, etc., in that area so we could move back. Yes, he's depressed, and I've been playing doctor with him and giving him something to sleep each night. We only have my Disability to live on, so I know what you're going through. And, if you're anxious and depressed yourself, it's a vicious circle. I'm sure his problems would disappear if he could again work. Then my anxiety would increase because he's not home. Why did I ever stop working and become so disfunctional? Fondly, Phillipa

Ah, Lamictal. It worked just great for about 6 months at a fairly low dose, pooped, and I had to go up to 150mg where I began to get the rash and had to stop. Eventually did get the rash, Stevens Johnson Syndrome, in all it's glory from another drug, but I believe the prodromal rash state from Lamictal sensitized me.

Kiddo, I'm one sensitive unit and it appears to me that pharmaceutical meds are not a good choice in my healing path.

But if he goes back to work, your anxiety would definitely lessen and I'm sure you'd find things to do. I know I would. I'd put on music and get back to belly dancing in the living room and not care about how fat he thinks I look shakin' it in my coin belt. You know? You could have your own thoughts and energy back and it may be hard at first, but you'd get into the flow. I know I will.

My husband and I tried to start our own computer consulting business and it went OK for a while then business dried up. Yes, times are very tough and realizing this is rather frightening. What's happening to this country is another story...

You could write to me privately through babble mail if you want. I enjoy your posts to me and do feel not so alone. - Barbara

Barbaracat,

I wish you success with taking Cymbalta at a low level. It took me several weeks (about 5) to begin to see positive affects from Cymbalta.

Please let us know how it goes for you. Also, I feel certain that you and your husband will get through this difficult time together. Take care!

My Best, Rhapsody

Barb-I'm glad you are back on the lithium, it has always seemed to work for you. I know you also take thyroid meds. Do they help at all with the lithium induced thyroid problems?

I think we know our bodies. If you have never done well on an SSRI or SNRI even while on lithium, then it probably isn't worth the risk. If all of your trials were WITHOUT a mood stabilizer, than you met have reason to rethink it.

Hang in there!

> Barb-I'm glad you are back on the lithium, it has always seemed to work for you. I know you also take thyroid meds. Do they help at all with the lithium induced thyroid problems?

**I go through periods of relative stability with my TSH around 2.0 or so, but then it will rise for whatever reason. I've gone back to straight Synthroid T4 instead of the natural T3/T4 so we'll see if it holds. So many other things are involved with thyroid and my sex hormones were very low according to a recent test. Very low progesterone cascades on down to low estrogen, low thyroid and low serotonin. I use a bio-identical hormone cream and had that adjusted as well.

The question becomes why are all these hormones fluctuating? To tell you the truth, I think it's mercury. I have a high mercury level and mercury likes to occupy all those hormone receptors. But that's another huge issue I'm dealing with that won't be gone right away and until it is I have to deal with the symptoms as they arise.

So these hormonal swings no doubt contributed to my recent crash but indeed I need a mood stabilizer also and lithium seems to be it. To let you know how wiggy my system is, I've been taking 3 little grains from my Cymbalta capsule and getting a response that is definitely a feeling of having taken Cymbalta. No wonder I was tripping my fanny off with 30mg.

It makes me really question the dosages of many of these meds. Perhaps some of us, especially bipolars, don't need the standard dosages of SSRIs and would benefit instead from minute amounts, as I seem to be doing. An interesting chemical soup we live in. Thanks for your response and ongoing support, Ravenwood. If I can ever return the favor... Barbara

Thanks Barb, I'm feeling a bit unhelpable at the moment. Have loads of tests run through a wholistic MD but I either have bizarre results that they haven't seen or I can't take the cure due to my stomach problems. Hormone test came back with elevated progesterone levels (like TWICE as much progesterone as I should have). They can't give me a hormone creme to take away too much progesterone now can they? The massive amounts of progesterone do explain why I am having the horrible/debilitating blood sugar swings on remeron. Too much progesterone=wacked blood sugar. Of course I suppose this could be reversed, that remeron is messing with my progesterone etc etc. It has definitely thrown my whole freakin' cycle off. I know I can't have a life until I get off the freakin' remeron and get rid of all of its horrible side effects but I can't even cut it in half without withdrawals and I don't know what the hell I would take next anyway.

Waiting to get some compounded remeron and start a slow descent off, which shouldn't be much fun since suppossedly I will get more side effects as I drop the dose. Don't you just want to get a new brain? Actually, I'd even settle for a new stomach. At least that way I could take the freakin' SSRI I need to get on with my life.

I was told you couldn't test for individual hormone levels, only FSH. This was during menopause when I was using a compounded cream. I never heard of compounded remeron. Who is this MD,and where do you live? Fondly, Phillipa
