In reply to Cymbalta and coffee?, posted by karaS on October 23, 2004, at 14:16:30

Hi Kara,

I've been on cymbalta about 5 weeks and finally settled at 20mgs per day after being at 40mgs to 60mgs per day.

At any dose, I definitely noticed less side effects after about a month. Yesterday I went for a long walk with my daughter and had a super-strong cup of gourmet coffee with no ill effects - although my heart raced last night when I had a little ice cream with my chocolate syrup.

Perhaps the combination of inderal LA 60mgs and cymbalta is key for me. I think the inderal counteracts some of the cymbalta SE's. I had to go down in dose mostly due to sexual side effects. I also experienced some drowsiness but also stimulation.

And although I felt less depressed and better able to concentrate, I barely knew my name at times. I had to get a pill organizer because I couldn't remember whether I had taken my daily dose. Yet in other ways, my mind has been as sharp as ever. Just can't remember my address or who I am. Maybe that's a good thing.
