Frequent nausea

Jul 14, 2011
Advice & Tips
Cymbalta: The nausea it causes isn't worth it, I know I can take Wellbutrin, Lexapro, without the side effects. I always have underlying anxiety. But the doctor that was assigned to tell me his plan for me or listen, he has added to my anxiety. This is not good with everything else. I can see trying to heal my digestive system but I can't eat hardly anything anyway. So I'm trying to find things that I can eat.

Side effects:
Difficulty sleeping through night
Date
Jul 05, 2011
Advice & Tips
Was prescribed for my general pain, in hopes that it would help my CRPS. Undoubtedly, this drug has major positive & negative effects on me. I have seen major improvements in my CRPS (pain, hypersensitivity, swelling, & dusky discoloration of right foot). However, it has negatively effected my sleep in a major way. Since beginning the drug, I have yet to sleep the whole night through. I average 4-5 hours of sleep per night.

Advice & Tips
Have only taken for a couple of weeks, and have seen tremendous positive improvements with my CRPS symptoms and neurologic pain. However, is disrupting my sleep regularly.

Advice & Tips
For me Cymbalta had absolutely no pain killer in it. It is an anti-depressant which is fine because of course living in pain is very depressing. At first, taking it, it made me feel sick as though I were going to vomit so I took them at night the first 2 weeks then went to days. I was given 60 mg -3 x a day and I did not like the way I felt at all. Finally I weaned off of them and quit. I like the other meds I'm on!
