Hi,
thanks for the info & support.
due to sensitivity to meds, my doc initially has me taking cymbalta (30mg) every other day.
yesterday i took my first dose in the morning. 4 or 5 hours later i had very bad diarrhea. stomach not feeling to good. loss of appetite. tired most of the time, but not sleeping well.
after the benzo mess last year i have moderate to severe insomnia & lost a substantial amount of weight. (i'm about 25lbs under my normal weight. not a good thing. the weight loss is not due to not eating. i eat about 2-3 times more food than i did before the benzo mess. the extra calories is the only thing that keeps me going during the day. the severe stress, due to the the severe intrusive t, seems to burn the calories up.)
i know it's early, but i'm concerned about weight loss & insomnia side effects from cymbalta. these are two side effects that will make my situation alot worse. they also appear to be two of the most common side effects of other users.
thanks
mike
