Suggest Treatment For Nervousness And Lack Of Appetite
Question: I am experiencing nervousness and lack of appetite. I am on 30 msg of cymbals a day which I take at night. I have been taking this every other days and am thinking about getting off of it. What do you recommend
Brief Answer:
Consultation
Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.
Actually, the way you are taking this medication is not helping you. Cymbalta is a medication that needs to be taken every day for 4 to 6 weeks continuously to begin to take effect. Once you take Cymbalta this way, I would expect your nervousness and lack of appetite to go away, as Cymbalta is an excellent anti-anxiety medication. I strongly encourage you to take it daily and to stick with it.
