Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My MD put me on a low dose of Cymbalta. I m suffering from burnout which in my csse manifests as parenthesis. 10 mg Cymbalta led to minor diarrhea and after a while intensification of pain (which disappears when I manage to relax). Tonight I slept less than 4 hours--my first night on Ciymbalta. I will consult my physician but my instinct is to get off the drug, Perhaps I not made for anti-depressants. I tried Zoloft some years ago and it just made me more tense.
