  |

Hi! I have diabetes tip 2, more than 5 years. Also I have diabetic neuropathy. I tried some alternative treatments for neuropathy, but didn’t help me at all. I heard that
Cymbalta can be useful in treatment of neuropathy pain. I know that Cymbalta is one antidepressant. If you know something about this issue please tell me. What are side effects of Cymbalta? Thank you!

Hi! I didn’t try yet this drug, but I will. The drug, Cymbalta (duloxetine), was approved for treating the diabetic neuropathy, the most common complication of diabetes. People treated with Cymbalta reported less pain compared to those given an inactive substance (placebo). The most commonly reported side effects were nausea, dry mouth, constipation, and diarrhea. In some cases, patients experienced dizziness and hot flashes. Talk with your doctor about this drug. He will inform you about this medication. Good lack!

My wife is suffering from Chemo Induced Peripheral Neuropathy.
Intially put on Gabapeatin @ 600mg a day, but it did not help.
Was perscribed Cymbalta a week ago @ 30mg per day and after two days was experienceing symptoms of extreme depression, which she did not have before the Cymbalta: loss of interest in favorite activities, sleeping all day. loss of appetite and unhappy.
The neuropathy pain did not go away and I know the doctor is going to say that we have to give it more time, but my wife isn't prepared to add depression to her other painful symptoms
