Has anyone experienced mental confusion and lack of awareness while taking Cymbalta? 

My VA doc prescribed Cymbalta and I took it for the first time last night and I was in mental fog for most of the day today and all of last night. 

I called my doc and he said to no longer take it so I won't. I'm just curious if anyone else has experienced the same thing? It almost felt like I took to much cold medicine. Very unpleasant feeling.

 
Been on it for a while now. Felt a bit weird when I first started taking it, after a few weeks I felt normal. I only take it because I couldn't tolerate SSRI's so requested an SNRI. Maybe you're the other way round and SSRI's might work better with you.

 
If You do get on Cymbalta & want to quit it at some point. The withdrwal syndrome, even w/ gradual reductions in dosage etc. Is quite difficult. I took it for 4 months, & noticed no refief from chronic pain. I also started getting headaches & mood swings. My other meds had stayed the same. My M.D. & I agreed to taper the Cymbalta & I did so. It took 3xs as long as the M.D. said & was quite severe. I'm glad I didn't go any further then 4 months. To answer A Mrider's question I also had some fogieness or general distortions in my mental ability for the 1st couple of weeks. That did seem to subside. RXpro-

I see my doctor again next week so I going to see about taking something else. They advised to stop taking it. So I assume he will want to try me on something different.

  2. F @ Floaty: like them using the shout box tbh, its appreciated good vibes. Not sure if the box has another purpose seems like its the correct use though
  3. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: @Layne_Cobain Yeah I'll start a thread for us in the Sports section later this morning.
  4. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: @Layne_Cobain Yeah I hated Canales' playcalling. Run the ball. That's what 9ers did since they knew it'd be that type of game. But at the same time, the panthers have a young core, and that was their biggest game in years lol. I understand MNF throwing off the passing game sync and shit just from being hyped up.
  5. L @ luquitoad: Yall should start a sports thread and keep it out of the shoutbox..... just a suggestion .
  6. F @ frankie dicks: need my medication for tdh vyvance
  7. L @ Layne_Cobain: I don’t think we’ll be in prime time again anytime soon 😂
  8. L @ Layne_Cobain: What a horrific game @tiquanunderwood seeiously embarrassing. Defense did their job Bryce the offense and Canales play calling has been atrocious
  9. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: @Layne_Cobain legoooo panthers babbyyyyy
  10. L @ Layne_Cobain: Congrats!!! @tiquanunderwood 5 in a row to climb back into it is amazing… and @MCAJB6122 I agree 💯did not see that coming. Can’t recall the last time there was this much parity across the league it’s insane
  11. M @ MCAJB6122: Chicago at 8-3 has to be the surprise of the season so far
  12. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: Tied for 1st in the North! Chicago beat Pitt. Leggooo
  13. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: @Layne_Cobain yeah we look ugly on offense. but hopefully we continue to pull it out. Me too man Go Panthers !
  14. L @ Layne_Cobain: @tiquanunderwood good luck today against gang green buddy…can’t wait for MNF
  15. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: Hope everyone enjoys football sunday!
  16. M @ Mammasboi123: Thanks @MGAJB6122. I think for future reference, everyone should get in the habit of using the “report” button found on the bottom left of the top comment in threads like the ones mentioned in order to flag threads like this. I’d imagine it’s easier on @Admin than having to check the shout box every day or so.
  17. M @ MCAJB6122: Along the same lines… https://drugbuyersguide.info/threads/clobromazolam.10083/. It shows up on the first page 4 entries down when you search for this compound

  20. J @ Jai239: Glad to contribute, more emphasis should be placed on spelling and abbreviations
