In reply to Been taking Cymbalta for 4 days now..., posted by ChicagoPete on September 18, 2004, at 12:04:27
I just started cymbalta a couple hours ago, and I'm not getting the usual immediate side effects I experienced with all the other SSRI's. With Zoloft I broke into a sweat within 15 minutes and felt weak among other things. Prozac and others clouded my thinking and had an immediate heavy body load for me. I could usually tell within a half hour whether a drug had too much anticholengeric action and side effects for me to handle but so far with cymbalta, all's well.
If anything, with cymbalta, I'm experiencing increased lucidity and a touch of euphoria in the early going. Very, very clean.
I know it's too soon to tell, but I'm encouraged. (and this is from someone who is skeptical and didn't give it much chance)
steady as she goes. I'll report back when I've taken it a few days or weeks.
