my problem is I can't remember exactly how my doctor said to go off/on from the paxil -> cymbalta.....can I overlap the two?I've been weening myself off the paxil for about 3 weeks and am down to about 10mg now. Plus, I had hand tremors to the point that I couldn't even write. 10. escitalopram (Lexapro) 20.
Alcohol can... Tapering off your medication can help you avoid both physical and mental side effects.Remember to take it slow.
I was on 60mg of cymbalta for 2 1/2 years, I have recently weaned off it. I just recently started taking Cymbalta (today).
Common How would you compare and contrast the two?I was on Zoloft (on/off) for a period of about 1 year. Now I have a really bad headache.
My Dr. had no clue as to how to help me wean off Cymbalta.
Weaning off antidepressants, including Lexapro, Zoloft, Paxil, and others, can come with some side effects. 50. citalopram (Celexa) 40. I just recently started taking Cymbalta (today). Any thoughtsI tapered from Lexapro to Cymbalta and had the stomach upset for a week.
Prescribed for Panic Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder,... I still have bottles of water in my van and take a drink when I'm driving. That's about all I can tell you for now.Give it a couple more weeks.
They also make my body tremor. Annoying but not horrendous. I really would like to stay off the med.
Besides that I feel okay. Trying to stay the course until then but D***, the relief so far does not equal the sides.Who has used Zoloft and now use Cymbalta? Cymbalta really seems to help me more than Zoloft did w/my anxiety-especially my OCD. How would you compare and contrast the two?I was on Lexapro 10mg. I continued to take them because at least I didn't feel like I was going to start screaming and yelling at everyone around me for basically nothing (i.e., looking at me, etc...). But it was great to get me stabilized. In other words, be sure you have something to drink when you take it. I am now tapering down to 15 mg for a month.
If you can handle the wieght gain and constipation, I think Cymbalta is the medication to at least try, it does work-or it at least worked with my depression.Hi everyone, I am glad to find a place that I can tell my story & maybe get some opinions.

However, I noticed that with the Zoloft almost immediately I felt like a zombie.

I'm supposed to be at 300 but don't want to potentiaqlly push the anxiety for yet. Cymbalta is a SNRi and Zoloft is a SSRi. Hmm....I would call your doctor's office and ask.

This may be a bit of too much information but Cymbalta did seem to have an affect on my digestive system and I had a lot of constipation. but hoping to asap :)I really don't know....I'm thinking if you have been weaning for 3 weeks, you can go ahead and stop paxil and start cymbalta.
