Bandsters taking Cymbalta



Recommended Posts

Hello. I want to start taking Cymbalta, but am a little scared it might upset my stomach. I have taken Lexapro, Zoloft, Paxil, Wellbutrin, and did fine. I know this drug is really new on the market. Has anyone on Cymbalta experienced any stomach discomfort, or other big side effects? Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks.

I tried to take it . I had really bad side effects. I had a lot of stomach problems and other problems as well. Sorry but i can not remember what they were. (maybe memory problems LOL) I went back to lexapro. Very few side effects to this one for most people according to my doctor. I do remember that my problems with Cymbalta were bad. Who knows though, it might work great for you. Donna

I'm not banded yet.. (Dec 27th) but I take Cymbalta.

I did have nausea, so I began taking it just before bedtime and it helps.

I'm interested to know about this too..

I take Cymbalta now. Guess I'd better ask my doc if we need to change. Thanks for the "heads up!"

:kiss2:RDK--on my way!

I took Cymbalta for about 3 months due to a ruptured disk (it's also used to treat nerve pain). I was effective at reducing the pain, but it also screwed up my eyesight and made it almost impossible to pee. :eek:

Hi, I take Cymbalta and have not had any problems. I tried Lexapro and it made my bi-polar symptoms worse. I think everyone is different and unfortunately no one has a definite answer. I think the important thing here is listen to your body and pay attention.

Good luck:)

Hi: I did have some tummy aches for a few weeks but they went away. My dr. did warn me about it, said it's pretty common. I'm sensitive to meds but this one has worked great for my panick attacks (I was on Effexor previously, worked good for a year but then stopped working).

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
