What Causes Stomach Sickness After Taking Cymbalta?
Hi Doctor I was prescribed Cymbalta a few days ago. I have depression from long term chronic pain. After taking one pill I was feeling better. soon after I got terribly sick to my stomach twice. I had no control over this medicine.. I was on the lowest dose. Do I dare try it again or switch?

HI,
I understand your concern.
The Cymbalta is known to cause nausea/ vomitting due to liver side effects it can cause.
Get your doctor's advise to evaluate your liver function test. In case it's normal.. you can try with the drug again with your doctor's permission & combine with Ranitidine to prevent gastric disturbances .
But if your liver function is hampered, your doctor will omit the drug & replace with other safer one.
Thanks.
