In reply to Cymbalta at Walgreens Pharmacies, posted by Mr. Scott on August 17, 2004, at 20:55:31
Hi All,
I just started my first 30mg dose of Cymbalta yesterday and am having a difficult go of it. I have felt dizzy, "spacey", and have noticed an increase in my anxiety and agitation. To top things off, I was only able to sleep 3 hours last night.
I am frightened because these are the same s/e's I was having on Effexor a few years back and had to discontinue after 2 months. The withdrawal, as you all know, was pure hell.
I know it has only been two days but my gut is telling me that this is going to be similar to my effexor experience and I am scared to death. I have a call in to my pdoc but as usual, no return call.
Can anyone offer some insight? Does a NE reuptake inhibitor have a tendency to increase anxiety and agitation in some?
I really want to go back to my zoloft, even though it helps some of the time.
Please help. Thanks so much.
Nicole
