This can happen after first-time use. Any new substance will cause an over reaction in the body and mind. Have you tried it more than once? Did get any of the benefits the drug is supposed to have?
My doctor just prescribed me this. Sounds horrible. I believe I'll pass. Shame because these flare up are unbearable at times. I will be working on my health and weight
I took 1 pill so far and I've decided i don't need it. Doctor prescribed it for my nerve damage, I'd rather deal with pain... then deal with the potential of going crazy!
Don't forget that pain is not just a feeling. Pain is a sign of damage, so it's not simply a matter of willing pain away. Something is triggering inflammatory signals, which can cause periphery damage to surrounding body tissues. Pain also releases adrenalin and cortisol, which keeps eating at the body and nervous system, wearing out everything over time. Pain should not be tolerated for extensive periods, by toughing it out alone.
Took Lexapro for anxiety and it worked wonders for 4 years then stopped working. Started cymbalta a month ago. Went from 20mg all the way up to 120mg and it really hasn't helped much. Plus it's given me some of the worst insomnia I've ever had.
Thank you for making this video. It was easy for me to understand and throughly covered in areas of my concern. As a disabled USAF veteran, I take other medications as well. This video helped clear some things up for me. Thank you for your service. ❤
They are addicting. I got off effexor and had horrible side effects. It was the worse withdrawal ive ever experienced. And I am a recovering alcoholic/addict who has had serious withdrawals withdrawals before. Horrible ssni withdrawals. I was told its a little hard to get off of. What a crock!
That's not addiction though. It's dependency. You won't crave it when you get off of it. That's what addiction does. Dependency is what causes the withdrawals and cymbalta has one of the worst of them.
I have fibromyalgia anxiety cfs i started this two weeks ago feel better more happier no depression feeling can feel less pain feel high a bit mood up and feel good more better days
Hi Dr, I requested the Gene test you recommended and Cymbalta was on the green side. Now I understand why I couldn’t tolerate Ssri’s. I been on Cymbalta for the past week 20mg and now fist day on 30mg. I noticed less anxiety than Ssri’s so I hope this medication helps my anxiety, low mood and insomnia due to anxiety.
Hi! How are you doing on the cymbalta? The same thing came up for me on my genesight test I can’t tolerate ssris- same as you made me more anxious and no sleep, but says I can take cymbalta
@@mariannadayre9563 Hello! I quit Cymbalta due to worsen anxiety 😑 last year after 2 months of no improvements. I am now on 10mg of Prozac but I can’t go higher. I tried going up to 20mg but 8 weeks was enough of worsening anxiety. 10mg is not perfect but I’m less anxious and still having better days than others with mood. Hope Cymbalta works for you!!
But why come off of they are working without side effects? People try to get off medication when they feel better. So did I. But my brain just needs that extra boost to stay leveled. @@wellinever1558
I've had generalized itching over 98 percent of my body. Which is not dermatologically related. I was prescribed Cymbalta for a couple of years as a test to see if the itching was anxiety related. It sort of, kind of worked a little bit, but became contraindicated because of elevated liver function levels.
3 weeks in, I love it, I can't describe how much my mood has improved which is great because my hubby was just found to have cancer...but, my pain in my joints are gone, I'm not hungry 24/7. I'm getting insomnia but can sleep.
My wifes mother took her to a doctor when she is dealing with gadolinium poisoning from a MRI she had on 9/5/23. She is being treated with EDTA Chelation. After taking this meds just in a couple of days she became crazy delusional and had to be taken to the hospital by the police. I read that a person can become delusion as an side effect.
The administration of this toxic compound must be approached with extreme caution. The list of potential side effects is horrific and now, it is being stated, that there is no evidence of neurotransmitter imbalance in major depressive disorder. Cymbalta is very dangerous in withdrawal and no one is really sure how to plan such a regime safely. One has to wonder, after being on this poison for many years, i am left with myriad systemic pathologies, which have arisen due to the treatment based on an erroneous premise.
Thank you for sharing the possible side effects. I wish doctors, psychiatrists and nurse practitioners were more knowledgeable on the longterm effects of Cymbalta discontinuation syndrome should you begin to taper off this awful medication.
Worst Medication ever!! Took 3 days. Body was on fire, lost sense of taste, flared up my reflux very badly, sore throat. 3 weeks later still feeling these all, except body heat.
I was just diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 45. My doctor says she doesn't treat her patients with stimulants. She gave me cymbalta 120 mg. Will this help with me. I have have seen any videos on using cymbalta for ADHD on UA-cam. I'm confused
@lindacannon5173 did you start them? I have anxiety because of my adhd too, and the doc prescribed me these since ssri aren't the right treatment for people with adhd 😊
Great video, just started duloxetine , and is it normal to see results in like 3 hours of first pill? It was like my brain fired up to like 1000? I was expecting it to kick in after a few weeks . Thank you for making this video
Hi, my name's Alex, I have Bipolar 1 and I take lithium, prozac, and loxapine. Could you please do a video on loxapine? There are not many videos about loxapine, even though it probably is more popular than most of the other first generation antipsychotics.
Many thanks for your sharing. It is very simple and helpful. I am looking forward to see an video which specific drugs or combination therapy target to specific order such as Manic -depressive disorder (Manic phase) and your own experience and own opinion to see patient change. I watch an video which a psychiatrist explain why patient stop taking antidepressant. it is not because it doesn't work, the drugs work but it shift patient personality which patient aware and believe she is not herself anymore, so she quit to take the drugs.
Thank you for your insight. I think that is a good idea for future videos, perhaps presenting case studies could be beneficial to demonstrate how this works in the real world.
All of these medications are not recommended for long term use, although that is how they are typically ordered and used. I don’t like the idea that the other doctor would say if it isn’t effective it is not the drug that failed, but the patient. That is how I read your comment. It is very well known that no one drug works well for every patient.
I do not have a video on tapering antidepressants since there aren't any guidelines to this. The process is unique for each person. However, I could make a video explaining that and how I approach it. Thank you for the idea.
I’d love to see a video w graphics on how exactly a “reputake inhibitor “ works. It almost sounds like the hormones are recycled and it stops that. I dunno! I love your videos.
Thank you. My illustration skills are poor, so I will try. However, think of reuptake as release so when you block (inhibit) the release (reuptake) of serotonin then the available serotonin will be increased. Hope that helps 😉
serotonin and numerous other neurochemicals are released into the synapse (the space between nerve cells to propagate signals between 2 neurons. All these chemicals are promplty removed from the synapse either by breaking them down or re-internalizing them back into the cell (like wiping the slate clean on a white board) the so they don't continue messaging endlessly. with an SSRI that re-uptake is partially blocked so the serotonin hangs around a bit longer spreading the signal.
Good thing, i lost weight on it, and i could tolerate it well under 60mg per Day, bad thing it has not any anti depressant action, even after 2 years of use,
Best medication ever, I was on tramadol, my neurologist took me out of there and the bf back then said "you change from night to day" Now I take 120mg, Tegretol 800mg & Brintellix, magic, ayer 10 years of bad pain finally I can function a normal person, + some CBD oil for attacks & flares (hemiplegic attacks) Make a video about Tegretol, pleeeease! ❤️❤️❤️
I take duloxitine at 180mg per day because that is the only dosage that works for me. No other side effects aside from heart rate of 110-115. Is this dangerous?
Here's the answer: I've been on it for 15 years. No, it's not right for you. You will get stuck on it and unable to get off of it. The withdrawal is worse than benzo withdrawal. The last time I tried, It gave me severe akathisia and I wanted to die. Any benefit it may have at the beginning is not worth what it will do to you down the road... and no, tapering it slowly doesn't solve this. It reduces it some, but it still happens. Not to mention it only comes in 60mg, 30mg, and 20mg time released capsules so you can't really taper it slowly without breaking the capsules open and counting beads.
My psychatrist recommended duloxetine 30 for 5 day then uptaper to 60 + mirtazapine 30 mg per night mostly for burnout/insomnia/depression. I'm scared to take this shit though. With a half life of like 40 hours it seems like I'll be in for a bad *week* if the drug doesn't click. How are things in the morning after? how can they be good if you still have 90% of the dose coursing through your system?
What are the static shocks or buzzes in your head when waking up? Sometimes, I get them when I move my eyes or turn my head! I had them before and was told it happened because I stopped taking flueoxetine on my own. When I changed to duloxetine they went away again.. now after a year and a half I am starting to get them again!
Alcohol is a "depressant" for a totally different reason to why "antidepressants" are called antidepressants. Antidepressants are called this because they treat "Depression" whereas alcohol is a "depressant" because of its effects on the CNS and absolutely not because it makes someone "depressed". This one statement really makes me wonder if you are actually a medical professional or not
i subscribe to your UA-cam channel and watch all your videos, That being said I have a huge problem with your semantical use of "addiction.". Since my GP prescribed a Benzo(clonazrpam). and I didn't go on the street seeking out klonopin, I'm "dependent" on this drug, which is a "medication" since I received this pernicious DRUG from a pharmacy with a script.Now I hear"neurodependent" as another euphemism for addiction. To me(and most people I talk to) ANY drug where you go through withdrawal to get off is addictive. It frustrates me when doctors play with words when discussing any drug where withdrawal is involved in getting of these "addictive" drugs. If you have read this comment to it's end I thank you.
There's also a lot of negative connotation with the word addiction. What you ever you want to call it is fine, just as long as you realize you need help coming off these drugs is the point.
It’s a mixed bag. I just started it a few days ago. My already bad insomnia is worse. I feel more constipated. I’m a little better mood. But not sure it’s worth it. I have spinal issues, Si joint pain, and my doctor thought this may help. Tingling in hands and foot common at all? Noticing this, not sure if it’s my back issues causing this instead? Angle Closure Dicloma is What?
@@NB-fe1wt I decided not going more than two days. I kept seeing so many negative side effects on you tube. I don’t know? Maybe I’ll try again. I felt off those few days. But understand it can get better in 2 weeks. Trying it out?
I I am using duloxitine 60 mg my doctor had advised me in the morning so is it better to use it in the morning as a whole or divided doses 30 30 mg morning and evening and I am using 30 MG mirtazapine in the evening still have an upset mood in the morning should I increase duloxitine or mirazapine even mitazapine has a good response for me than duloxitine. Will be thankful from Pakistan
Yes, true. But when you inhibit norepinephrine reuptake in the prefrontal cortex, where dopamine has great affinity towards, you then increase dopamine via the norepinephrine reuptake.
@@LevelheadedMind True. The prefrontal cortex lacks dopamine transporters, and dopamine is taken up by norepinephrine transporters in this region, but this is different from saying that duloxetine inhibits dopamine transporters as this would cause a more widespread elevation of dopamine in the brain.
Mam serious question I'm from India my doc prescribed me duloxetine in tablet form but there are also capsule form which one is best cap or tablet form
I have had extreme chronic fatigue for some time but realized maybe it’s because I’m taking 60mg cymbals in the morning. What is “semblance” so I can speak to my Doctor about taking a higher dose at night & a lower dose during the day. Also can cymbalta interact with concerta? I’m on it for adhd. My fatigue and depression right now is very bad. Thank you for your help!
@@Truerealism747 I’m broke a few bones in a motorcycle accidents. I was in a little pain. The doctor asked was I depressed. I said sure. Just destroyed my Harley Davidson. So he said take this drug , it’s also for pain. It increased my pain x 100. Then he prescribed opioids. Over 8 years he increased the opioids, OxyContin plus fentanyl. I ended up having emergency surgery for internal bleeding. Before the surgery I was taken off everything. I woke up and the pain was gone. Coming off the opioids was easy. But coming off Cymbalta was a nightmare. Im still suffer with the side effects after a year coming off it. I also lost a kidney to cancer 6 months ago. This drug is also apparently well known for destroy kidneys. I am now living with FND, functional neurological disorder as a side effect.

What the guidelines of coming off this particular meds
No particular guidelines it is individual. However, best to reduce by 10% every month. You will need liquid form from compounding pharmacy to do it.
@@LevelheadedMindNo you dont. You need to bead counting with Cymbalta. 5% of your last dose. A hyperbolic taper if youve been on it long-term.

It’s a mixed bag. I just started it a few days ago. My already bad insomnia is worse. I feel more constipated. I’m a little better mood. But not sure it’s worth it. I have spinal issues, Si joint pain, and my doctor thought this may help. Tingling in hands and foot common at all? Noticing this, not sure if it’s my back issues causing this instead? Angle Closure Dicloma is What?
A new update after 1 month? Does it make u feel better? U still take it ?
@@NB-fe1wt I decided not going more than two days. I kept seeing so many negative side effects on you tube. I don’t know? Maybe I’ll try again. I felt off those few days. But understand it can get better in 2 weeks. Trying it out?

You didn't recommend it for Anxiety which is my major concern.
I have anxiety disorder and this is my doctor prescribed me and it works really good for me
@@maryadelacruz8640hey how many mg are you on? I have anxiety and doctor prescribed me 30mg daily. I’m hoping it helps
This med was terrible. It made me worse. Helped with my pain though. Hard to stop taking.
Enjoy the more than horrible withdrawals! DO NOT TOUCH THIS
The ability of duloxetine to inhibit the dopamine reuptake pump is negligible.
Yes, true. But when you inhibit norepinephrine reuptake in the prefrontal cortex, where dopamine has great affinity towards, you then increase dopamine via the norepinephrine reuptake.
@@LevelheadedMind True. The prefrontal cortex lacks dopamine transporters, and dopamine is taken up by norepinephrine transporters in this region, but this is different from saying that duloxetine inhibits dopamine transporters as this would cause a more widespread elevation of dopamine in the brain.
Could I take duloxetine and setraline together as it setraline gives me headache?
Mam serious question
I'm from India my doc prescribed me duloxetine in tablet form but there are also capsule form which one is best cap or tablet form
We only have capsule form here so I am not sure how to advise on the tablet form.

Do something for someone else it will make you feel better.
I'm a smoker. Will my smoking affect the effect of this medicine?
I have had extreme chronic fatigue for some time but realized maybe it’s because I’m taking 60mg cymbals in the morning.
What is “semblance” so I can speak to my
Doctor about taking a higher dose at night & a lower dose during the day.
Also can cymbalta interact with concerta? I’m on it for adhd.
My fatigue and depression right now is very bad.
Thank you for your help!
Lol all the side effects are everything we are trying to get rid of.
How does it affect weight loss?
Made me put it on straight away so I stopped talking them
Are you tually a doctor? Js
This is a evil drug. It’s caused my fibromyalgia. Took 8years of my life away.
It caused the fybromyalgia what were you taking it for
@@Truerealism747 I’m broke a few bones in a motorcycle accidents. I was in a little pain. The doctor asked was I depressed. I said sure. Just destroyed my Harley Davidson. So he said take this drug , it’s also for pain. It increased my pain x 100. Then he prescribed opioids. Over 8 years he increased the opioids, OxyContin plus fentanyl.
I ended up having emergency surgery for internal bleeding. Before the surgery I was taken off everything. I woke up and the pain was gone. Coming off the opioids was easy.
But coming off Cymbalta was a nightmare. Im still suffer with the side effects after a year coming off it. I also lost a kidney to cancer 6 months ago. This drug is also apparently well known for destroy kidneys.
I am now living with FND, functional neurological disorder as a side effect.
Don't use those freaking clicking noises....🤬
