I am on Cymbalta now going on almost 4 years I started taking it for neurothopy in my arms. with out Cymbalta my arms are numb and dead wt can't move them hardly at all. I take 120mg twice a day. As for my side effects, my depression has worsen, the joint aches are severe, fatigue, constipation, diarrhea, vision problems, ringing in my ears, static and what I call electric strikes going through my head, and I have had suicidal thoughts and now I am having memory problems. I work full time and it is really starting to affect my job. I don't miss work but I am so tired and hurt so bad and I forget what I am doing, I wonder is it worth it so I can still have the use of my arms. just recently my doctor started me on Delfin 7.5 to help with my depression. I haven't noticed any difference yet. I am so tired of being in pain and the static and ringing in my ears and just being but I keep going on got to keep going on thanks for letting me write this

I have had severe weight gain. 30lbs in one month of bloating. The doctor put me on Demedex for water retention. I have been on that for a week now and it has made no difference as of yet. This is ridiculous. I have so much swelling in my legs and feet that it feels like they are submerged in buckets filled with concrete. Yes my blood sugar has lowered significantly...but I am more miserable now then when my sugars were over 300. Is there anything else out there that is better than this?????

My insurance changed and i was substited budeprion for the other generic for Wellbutrin which was buproprion. The first thing I noticed is that I was extremely irratable and downright mean to people. I never used to be like that while on Wellbutrin. I cried easily and this new pill just did not help me like the old original. But the most annoying side effect I have noticed is that it has given me an awful odor. It took me awhile to put two and two together but I noticed the budeprion has an awful smell in the bottle as soon as I took the lid off. Then I noticed my urine had a horrible strong smell which I associated with the same smell as the pill. Now I also am afraid it is being excreted thru perspiration as well. I am certainly not going to continue to take this budeprion if it is making me smell bad! Has anyone else noticed this side effect?

I would like to stop taking paxil, I have been on it for 3 yrs. When I skip my medicine I get what feels like electrical shocks in my neck & head. I wasnt sure if I had a pinched nerve at 1st but began to associate this with the event that I had not taken my meds. I also have onset of panic attacks & rapid heart, & terrible terrible forgetfulness, as to even what cabinet I would like to open, I open the wrong one, go into the wrong doorway, wrong driveway. I am very concerned. I have told my Dr. that I would like to get off this Paxil but Ive been told that it would be best since I was suffering from anxiety attacks in past. I would like to be committed to be able to handle the withdrawls. If anyone has been successful in stopping Paxil and now feels pretty back to normal, please let me know. Thanks

I had my son 5 months ago and had my Mirena put in at my 8 week check up. The day I got it in I hurt so bad and siting down was out of the question!It honestly felt like it was crooked or put in wrong. So I called my doctor office and of course like always no one ever called me back, but luckily the next day my body adjusted to it and the discomfort was gone. But I bled for oh my goodness, i want to say about 6 weeks after that! it was a drag! But now my periods are back to normal , I haven't noticed a difference in decrease yet ( sadly) in fact they may be a little bit heavier and longer. ( or it could just be that they seem that way cause I had a 9 month vacation! I also haven't noticed any horrible side effects other then just one. Sounds funny because im only 21 but i seriously feel like im going through menopause! Has anyone else felt this way?? I sweat in the middle of the night but am cold . Sometimes burning up hot when everyone around me is freezing cold and begging me to turn up the heat. Im boyfriend will probably tell you ive been mood swinging , maybe I have, i cant tell , right now im planning our wedding and raising baby ,I don't have time to tell, or know if anything ive been feeling is from the IUD or just stress from wedding planning. Now last week and the week before that i had a constant headache but again maybe be stress related. And as for depression, I was diagnosed with that when I was i think 16 and take zoloft for that so I don't have any problems with that. But I just want to know if anyone else is experiencing menopause like side effects?
