4th Cymbalta Update - Feeling Okay

September 21, 2026

In just 3 days the adverse effects were enough for me to stop. I would rather battle the occasional problem of low libido than resume migraine headaches that disappeared years ago. I think I had my 73 year old priorities mixed up! Thanks everyone

I am sorry to hear about your adverse effects! Did this happen after a reduction?

After only three days. I can’t be positive about cause and effect, but I’m not willing to risk it.

I fully understand you don't want to risk it, can you share how much of your dose you reduced? I hope you stabilize quickly and feel better. How are you feeling now?
