houswoea Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 Hi, I did not find a thread discussing this...I started cymbalta for chronic pain and anxiety three weeks ago. It has helped both of those, however my pots is getting out of control. I'm hoping my body will get used to the med and stop reacting this way. Any experiences in this area!Thanks.On the bright side, I am remembering how good I am at typing while laying down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JenLR Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Cymbalta made my POTS symptoms much worse. I stopped taking it after just four days due to severe syncope, nausea, headaches, etc. I could not even have my head up high enough to lay it on a pillow. Hope you start feeling better soon!

lewis Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Cymbalta made me feel the worse I have felt in my life. Exaggerated every problem and severe never pain. My doc said to stick it out. I told him very bad words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cupcakemomma5 Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 I am the opposite, Cymbalta has not flared up my symptoms, and does calm down my chronic pain..I do have a tendency to react the complete opposite of everyone else on the same medication though....

GingerA Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 Cymbalta helped my pain but within weeks I was very depressed and suicidal. I have had this issue with most meds like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
