digestive problems with Cymbalta

Guest · Guest

I am 65. I was prescribed Cymbalta for depression and pain related to TMJ. For one week I took 30 mg and then it was upped to 60 mg. I became unbelievably constipated and stopped the drug after one week on the 60 mg. I'm now on the way to the ER for unrelenting pain in my abdomen because I think I need a ct scan to rule out a rectal tear. This drug is TERRIBLE!!!

I was on Effexor briefly because Lexapro (which had been relatively great for 2 years) was making me drowsey and I wanted to see if another medication would be less soporific. Effexor rendered me completely incapable off going number two, even with fiber and milk of magnesia. Then my doctor switched me to Cymbalta to see if the constipation issue would change, but I was still rather constipated on Cymbalta. Never take this drug if you can avoid it. I'm weaning off of it now and I have these weird swishing noises in my ears every time I move my eyes quickly.
