Duloxetine (Cymbalta)
Has anyone been on this medication before? My doctor wants to put me on this but I’ve never heard of it

For every one it’s different side effects! In particular for me it didn’t work but I only took it for 3 days so let’s not say it didn’t because I didn’t take it for long I just couldn’t take side effects being a mom of 3
@Anonymous That makes sense. Im sorry it didnt work out but i hope you were able/are able to find something else that does. ❤️Thank you for the comment!
I've been taking it for six years. Maybe longer and its still working. I've had no side effects. Usually I get all of them, even the rare ones. It also begins to work in two weeks as apposed to eight weeks. I've had several friends ask their Docs to switch them to Cymbal ta and they've all had a very positive experience. Good luck.
@monicamack That’s great! Thank you for commenting
I am honestly desperate to try anything, I tried prozac and it works but it makes me gain weight which makes my body image issues even worse, so I need help. Has anyone tried it?
Hello. I am a mom of a 15 yo who has been diagnosed with severe OCD and also depression and anxiety disorders. Medication was recommended. Specifically clomipramine. As of now he refuses to take it. Says he 50 % of the way considering it. He was not able to complete most of his HW last week, spends much of the day feeling anxious, isolates in his room for hours. Says he wants to try to manage it - says he’s doing better bc he was able to focus in his math class - says he doesn’t want med bc he is afraid it will mess w his mind (numb his feelings). Any advice for how to get him over this hump? Any good experience from med? It’s hard for me to watch him suffer knowing that med is an option and he could be feeling better. Also hard to watch him get zeros in classes when he is smart and capable. Thank you ahead of time. Also, his NOCD therapist is on vacation but had recommended med as well to help my son engage better in ERP
Hey friends, I hope you all are well. I just wanted to check in and ask people's experiences about being on medication. I have had OCD pretty much my whole life, just got recently diagnosed 4 months ago and my therapist recommended that I get on meds for it so I have a psychiatrist appointment set up. I'm a little apprehensive about getting on them, but I've realized that I do have some sort of chemical imbalance in my brain that plays a part in my OCD and anxiety. I would love to hear anyones experiences or words of encouragement. Thank you, I hope you all are well.
