Cymbalta

I began taking Cymbalta (to replace Lexapro) this past Monday. Since then I've had no appetite (which I appreciate), though I get ravenous at night; I've barely slept, leading to disorientation; and often I feel sick, though my pdoc told me that should pass after a week. I've been shaky (maybe due to waking up at 3am after 2 hours of sleep).

Does anyone else take Cymbalta? Are you having/have you had these symptoms?

I'm going to give it a shot anyway. I've learned to let things even out before writing off a new prescription. But I want to know if the sleeplessness and sickness will stop...

Ask your pdoc, if possible, about the timeframe of how long it takes for the drug to actually be effective. I know from past experience that antidepressants can take weeks to actually start working. But as always, just talk with your pdoc, they know best and so do you.

I took cymbalta for a long time. I gained 50 pounds and was constipated the whole time.
The weight gain was probably because I was full of poo. The Sh%t word will get me a reprimand so saying poo like I was a 5 year old is much better.
