I have been on 30 mg of cymbalta since Aug 5 & now started 60 mg this weekend that just passed. She gave me a 60mg pill but I have taken my 30mg in morning & then 30 at night. I have been so tired & feel so out of it & don't know if 60mg is to much for for me. Should I give it time to work being it has only been 5 days Or should I go back to 30mg???
Hola Linda
Tomo 60 por la mañana, el mío es para el dolor ya que sufro de Fibromialgia. No puedo decir que me cause sueño. Tarda un rato en hacer efecto. ¿Has tenido algún efecto secundario y para qué los tomas?

¿Has probado tomar los 60 completos por la noche? Mi médico recomendó tomarlos por la tarde para ayudar con el cansancio. Noté que los efectos secundarios iniciales pasaron en aproximadamente 2 semanas. Eventualmente aumenté a 90, por lo que también tomaba una dosis por la mañana hasta que tuve que dejarlo. No creía que me ayudaran hasta que dejé de tomarlos, entonces me di cuenta de que sí lo hacían. Acabo de empezar de nuevo lentamente con 20 para ver si un aumento más lento ayuda
Hi Deb
My main reason for taking it is for depression. I took the 60 mg last night instead of the morning. I woke up at 4:30 am instead of 7am like normal.
My stomach is also upset which happened when I first started the 30mg. I also have NO appetite & I lost my appetite when I started the 30mg back in Aug. I told her this & she said it's my depression causing the appetite loss....I think it's the cymbalta.
Hi Penny
I took the full 60 last night & woke up much earlier than normal.
What side effects did u get after starting the 60mg?
I have no appetite, upset stomach but that's not why I'm not eating.
I just feel very much out of it & not myself. So even thou I was taking the 30mg I could get additional side effects from the 60mg?
I am taking for depression are you also taking for depression and does it work??? I just don't know if I should go back to 30mg or continue taking the 60 being I only started it 5days ago.
Lo tomé por fibromialgia, pero definitivamente mejoró mi estado de ánimo. No tuve problemas para comer, pero sí me hizo sentir mal al principio y no me adapté bien. Fue cuando aumenté a 90 que tuve dificultades, me sentí muy descoordinado y desarrollé un temblor. También estaba tomando tramadol, así que creo que fue demasiado y el aumento demasiado pronto. El dolor volvió a ser malo después, pero sí ayudó cuando los tomé, por eso intento una dosis más pequeña.
Hi Linda
I find myself in pretty much the same situation as yourself. I to have increased from 30 mg per day to 60 mg per day now on day 8, the first 5 days were fine, I said to myself so far so good side effect wise. But I feel I'm struggling with more fatigue than I had before, so I'm thinking should I give it more time or reduce back to 30 mg per day. As I'm still weighing it up I can't really advise you on what to do really. If I'm being honest I see myself going back to 30 mg, as I'm struggling at work.
Sorry I can't be more help other that keep in touch and let me know your decision! I would rather make the decision now than have to go through a withdrawal if you get me!
Take care

At this point I'm totally not sure what to do. I take the cymbalta at night now & it seems to cut down on the tireness but I feel as depressed as always. I am only on this now my 6th day so wondering if it takes longer to take effect??? My anxiety is though the roof & I just walk around the house & have no motivation to do anything. She also has me on Clonazepaim 1mg after taking me off xanax which I was on for a few years. What side effects are u getting & do u have some of the same as me? I don't understand if I was on 30mg for 5 weeks why am I feeling so bad???
Lo siento mucho que te esté resultando tan difícil con el aumento. No estaba preparada para la depresión, así que no creo que pueda ayudarte. Sé que dicen que puedes sentirte peor durante un tiempo con cualquier antidepresivo antes de que surtan efecto. ¿Has concertado una cita con el médico para revisar el aumento? Realmente desearía poder ayudarte más o darte alguna tranquilidad. Los efectos secundarios que experimenté fueron náuseas y mareos, pero inicialmente se aliviaron después de 2 semanas. Me ayudó con la ansiedad y mejoró mi estado de ánimo, no me había dado cuenta de que estaba deprimida hasta que tomé estos y sentí una mejora en mi estado de ánimo. Los tomé para el dolor. Quizá llames a tu consulta por la mañana y pidas una consulta telefónica con el médico de cabecera, creo que probablemente esa es la mejor cosa que hacer. Te deseo lo mejor y espero que te sientas mejor pronto
Penny, I am with a pych dr & I plan on calling her. My next appt is in Nov.
I wanted to go on Lexapro from the beginning but she didn't like this antidepressant. Well I think it should be up to me what med I take. I am so mad because I don't think Lexapro would of caused these side effects I am having. I took lexapro years ago & it seemed to help when I was with another pych dr which has retired now....to bad because I would of went back to her!!!
