Cymbalta

The last three months I have been on Cymbalta 60 mg. and I must say so far it has been a miracle for me. I have noticed I have less depressive episodes, less mood swings and alot more motivation. It decreases my daily physical pain which is also a nice bonus. The only side effects that I have noticed is if I forget to eat regularly it makes me nauseated, which for me is also an added plus. Hopefully it will help me gain weight. I have very vivid dreams and occasional headaches if I accidentally miss a dose.

But really, for me the pluses far outweigh the minuses. I am so grateful I have found something that is working for me right now. They have a great website which explains depression, anxiety, diabetic nerve pain and fibromyalgia here: http://www.cymbalta.com/learnaboutcymbalta.jsp

Although the exact way that Cymbalta works in people is unknown, it is believed to be related to an increase in the activity of serotonin and norepinephrine, which are two naturally occurring substances in the brain and spinal cord. Cymbalta is in a class of medications called selective SNRIs (serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors
