Cymbalta

No. Barbituates are drugs that are used as hypnotics or sleep inducers. Wellbutrin is an antidepressant, and also sometimes used to aid in the cessation of smoking.

Cymbalta is an antidepressant in a group of drugs called selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SSNRIs). Cymbalta works by restoring the balance of certain natural substances in the brain (serotonin and norepinephrine), which helps to improve certain mood problems. Cymbalta is used to treat major depressive disorder and general anxiety disorder. It is also used to treat a chronic pain disorder called fibromyalgia, and to treat pain caused by nerve damage in people with diabeties (diabetic neuropathy). Cymbalta may also be used for other purposes not listed. Important information about Cymbalta Do not take Cymbalta together with thioridazine (Mellaril), or a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) such as isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), rasagiline (Azilect), selegiline (Eldepryl, Emsam), or tranylcypromine (Parnate). You must wait at least 14 days after stopping an MAOI before you can take Cymbalta. After you stop taking Cymbalta, you must wait at least 5 days before you start taking an MAOI. You may have thoughts about suicide when you first start taking an antidepressant, especially if you are younger than 24 years old. Your doctor will need to check you at regular visits for at least the first 12 weeks of treatment. Call your doctor at once if you have any new or worsening symptoms such as: mood or behavior changes, anxiety, panic attacks, trouble sleeping, or if you feel impulsive, irritable, agitated, hostile, aggressive, restless, hyperactive (mentally or physically), more depressed, or have thoughts about suicide or hurting yourself. Avoid drinking alcohol while taking Cymbalta. Alcohol may increase the risk of damage to your liver. Cold or allergy medicine, narcotic pain medicine, sleeping pills, muscle relaxers, and medicine for seizures or anxiety can add to sleepiness caused by Cymbalta. Tell your doctor if you regularly use any of these other medicines. Cymbalta can cause side effects that may impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be awake and alert. Before taking Cymbalta Do not use Cymbalta together with thioridazine (Mellaril), or an MAO inhibitor such as isocarboxazid (Marplan), tranylcypromine (Parnate), phenelzine (Nardil), rasagiline (Azilect), or selegiline (Eldepryl, Emsam). Serious and sometimes fatal reactions can occur when these medicines are taken with Cymbalta. You must wait at least 14 days after stopping an MAO inhibitor before you can take Cymbalta. After you stop taking Cymbalta, you must wait at least 5 days before you start taking an MAOI.

No.

No... it's not an official side effect. However it shouldn't be mixed with blood thinners and new side-effects are still being reported. I have been on Cymbalta for a few years (shortly after it came out) and the known side effects then (2005) was a much shorter list than it is today. I've had problems with stomach bleeding from taking it with ibuprofen as well as syncope due from severe hypotension(low blood pressure) because of the cymbalta. Also, the higher the dose, the more pronounced the side effects are. I am prescribed the highest dose (120mg daily) but I typically only take 60-90mg.

I have been using Molipaxin 50 g for just over a week and I seem to have gained 7 pounds.

Is this a normal side effect?

Yes! Orthopedic doctors prescribe these together fairly often. One is a muscle relaxant that helps with spasms and the other is an anti-inflammatory. I use them myself as I have compressed vertebrae with resulting herniated/bulging discs in both my lower back and neck. With anything though, check with your doctor especially if you are taking any other medications. I've found drugs.com to be really handy for determining drug interactions and such.

Do you mean Quick Slim the "magic" fat-burning cream? There is no way that cream can affect fat inside your body, so this does not work at all.

Or did you mean SlimQuick, the weight loss pill. This is mostly caffeine with some vitamins in it. You can take it with Cymbalta, but remember all that caffeine is going to make you jittery and nervous.

Yes. I am on 60mg cymbalta and 1-2mg Klonopin daily. I have no adverse reactions and in fact, my anxiety is at an all time low, no panic attacks, and I'm no longer depressed. This combo works wonders for me!

My neurologist prescribed both Tegretol and Topamax at the same time to prevent my debilitating headaches along with Effexor. It wasn't intentional, but we were adding medications, and planning to slowly discontinue the other later. Neither Topamax alone nor Tegretol alone had any benefit for relieving my horrible headaches. 8 day headaches that were constant and ruining my life. When I take both drugs together, along with the Effexor (I'm not sure I have to keep taking the Effexor, but I and my doctors don't want to change everything around too quickly.) Anyway, I appear to have no negative side effects from combining Tegretol and Topamax. Both certainly make my sleepy and I need more sleep than most people, but I have my life back, in that my waking hours are now happy and almost fully pain-free!! A complete blessing. Even my doctor doesn't understand it.

Yes, Cymbalta is a tricyclic antidepressant which treats generalized anxiety disorder, fibromyalgia, chronic pain and peripheral diabetic neuropathy pain. People with depression can also benefit from Cymbalta. It can cause a variety of conditions, including depression or anxiety. Cymbalta works by blocking the reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine, which can help re-balance these chemical levels.

It can take anywhere form a few days to months. It really depends on how long you where taking cymbalta. If you took it for a month there might not be any withdrawal but if you took it for 6 months to a year it can take weeks even longer.

Yes, I was in a terrible wreck that I've been suffering from for 15 years now. I've been going to a Chiropractor ever since I was 21 once a week. My pain always came back. The cymbalta is helping my pain tremendously.

So tired that I take generic adderall to combat this.

Cymbalta is an SNRI, meaning it increases both serotonin and norepinephrine, while lexapro is an SSRI, meaning it increases only serotonin. These drugs that inhibit the reuptake of neurotransmitters MUST BE SWITCHED GRADUALLY. If switching from cymbalta to lexapro, the physician should induce a "step-down" therapy on the cymbalta while inducing a "step-up" therapy on lexapro. This ensures a level amount of drug in the blood, and minimizes the chance of recurrence and adverse effects.

I started taking Cymbalta two weeks ago and on about day three I noticed that every morning I have big, black, puffy bags under my eyes. I could chalk it up to the lack of sleep I'm experiencing, which is a side effect of the Cymbalta, but I think it's more than lack of sleep. I think it's an additional side effect. I've lost sleep many many nights when I was not taking Cymbalta and NEVER had these big, black bags. I've heard it can cause fluid retention, so...

My sweating is debilitating and embarrassing. I feel like it is ruining my life. I avoid many social activities because of it. it is embarrassing at work. I don't even have to be doing much, the sweat just pours sometimes. I'm going to wean myself from this drug before summer. [Second opinion] I also sweat excessively from Cymbalta, but have found that the sweating has reduced significantly over the past 12 months. I still sweat more than I did before Cymbalta, but less than when I started on the drug. I need to sleep on a towel maybe once per month. Overall, not enough to be a social or work problem (the sweat is not smelly), and a small price to pay for having my life and family back.

Yes, as with 99% of drugs, Cymbalta can only lose potency with time, drugs in most cases do not go bad, like milk, their effect just gets weaker and weaker with time.

You definitely need to check with your doctor and at least the pharmacist.

Part of the approval process by the FDA is to test side effects of a drug being combined with another.

Both are stimulants and you could get "too much" stimulation.

I hope you are referring to the approved drug phentermine and not the untested knockoff phentramine.

Luck.

Cymbalta withdrawal symptoms can last up to three months. It varies from person to person. Cymbalta withdrawal symptoms will be less severe and less common when the dosage is slowly decreased over time.
