 Posted: 03/17/07 - 16:52 Post subject: Sexual Side Effects with Cymbalta |
  |
|
| I was recently put on Cymbalta (on my 6th day) and I was curious about the sexual side effects it may have like other SSRIs (prozac, etc..). I discussed this concern with my doctor and she talked about Wellbutrin but stated that the medication doesn't help anxiety much, so she suggested Cymbalta, as it is a "double" medication, like effexor. She seems to think this will aid in the sexual side effects. I am only on 20mg to start, and she said something like the higher the dose gets, the more balanced out the two medicines become. I experienced the start of some sexual side effects recently, and wondered if maybe once I increase the dose, they will get better. Any thoughts or input would be greatly appreciated! |

I'm a guy who recently took Cymbalta 30mg then 60mg and almost immediately noticed sexual side effects. I stopped taking the meds all together, but to answer your question, for me 60mg still had the effects.
good luck |

|

| I was on Cymbalta for a little over a year and the sexual side effects were huge with me. I was on 30mg for the first six months and then 60mg after that. I found myself terribly disinterested in sex and it made my sensitivity go away almost completely. However, I have been weaning off of it for two weeks not and am almost done and have to say that the sexual side effects are almost all gone. It's enjoyable again! |

|
|
| I want to speak up for Cymbalta and say that even though I may take longer to climax... my libido is at an all time high and I want sex all the time. I've heard Cymbalta can lower inhibitions somehow? Anyway I'm enjoying the side effect and happy it isn't the opposite. (Paxil was terrible for sexual side effects). |
