Does Cymbalta Side Effects Cause Joint Pain,palpitations And Vaginal Bleeding?

I am looking at the side effects of cymbalta. I have been on 60 mg for 5 years and lately have been having moderate to severe joint pain, occasional rapid heartbeats and yesterday started vaginal bleeding after not having a period for 8 months. I am 52 years old and otherwise in good health.

Hi,


Thanks for your post on HCM



I do understand your pain and discomfort



As per your clinical history is concerned your problem is not due to drugs which you are taking right now. It is due to your pre menopause stage and period will stop permanently afterwards.so talk with your doctor and he will prescribe-

1) Low dose hormone therapy like [estrogen+progesterone]

2)Use a vaginal cream for dryness

3)antidepressant like paroxetine if you have hot flashes

These are all prescription medications and yo need prescription by your doctor only.


Hope that helps
