I just started Cymbalta yesterday...after having the Mirena in for two months, removed last week thankfully, I was then diagnosed with Fibromayagia. The Mirena made my migraines worse, I had terrible mood swings, irritated very easily, etc. I'm a 38 year old mom of 3 kids and I cannot keep living with mood swings and aches and pains constantly. I heard good things about Cymbalta and hope it works for me...last night I felt nausea and developed a bad headache, stayed up most of the night. Today, just very tired, feeling ok, a little calmer...I have NO appetite what so ever..I feel full actually. I am going to give it a fair shot and then write back...I know my system just needs to adjust..starting out at 30, after 2 weeks, moving up to 60. We'll take it one day at a time I guess. I find it amazing reading all of these blogs..everyone reactions are so alike and different at the same time! Good luck All!

I've heard all your side affects are from the Mirena. Why treat side effects of one (drug) IUD with an anti-depressant with it's own side effects? I'd get another opinion.

No, I went on the IUD because I had terrible cramps and PMS, I cannot go on the pill because of my migraines, high cholesterol and age, so the Mirena was a good option. So that is why they put me on Cymbalta, I was also diagnosed with Fibromayagia too, so Cymbalta has been very helpful with the pms and aches and pains.
