| Cymbalta has plenty of side effects. It also can cause diplopia or double vision, photopsia when person can see lights, sparks and colors in front of the eyes, or increased sensitivity on light, called photosensitivity reaction. There is number of other side effects that can occur during treatment or like withdrawal symptoms. Cymbalta affects brain and nervous system and reduces depression; it changes concentrations of neurotransmitters in brain, so it can not be free of adverse effects. |

|
|
Hi, I am a 51 year old woman and I started taking cymbalta in May of 2006. I had taken zoloft for over 8 years prior to this but it had just seemed to stop working. My doctor said this can happen as our bodies seem to change about every 7 years so she gave me the cymbalta to try.
I have lost 25 pounds since taking it!! AMEN! But the problem I have noticed is that I never had a problem with High BP till about the past few months and I'm wondering if it may b e because of the cymbalta?
I would like to hear from you and see what you know. Thanks.

I have had no improvement in depression, however I have erectile problems, a clear 'gluey' penile discharge and regular dreams where I have violent escapades which result in my swearing and fighting in my sleep which upsets my partner. I have had recurrent thoughts of self harm and suicide which, if I had not had constant rapport with my family, I suspect I may have acted upon. Could be worse!!

|
|
I have been using cymbalta (total 50 mg per day) for over six months and have very dry, chapped and peeling skin. My face is always peeling as if I had been slightly sunburned. I also break out - maybe due to the dryness. But it's miserable. along with the excessively dry mouth.
Chewing gum for the dry mouth helps, but it isn't very professional.
Oasis moisturizing lozenges also help. But nothing improves my skin.
Also, I and another friend on the same medication find our hair is thinning.

I have been taking cymbalta for little over six months and I have had dry peeling skin, the worst however is my glans penis, very red, flaky and raw groin. STD has been ruled out, and a diagnosis of Cymbalta side effects has. Seems like lotions have little effects. Switching to loose fitting pants and boxers help by reducing friction. I look a little out of place dressing in hip-hop style clothes at my age, but hey I'm getting benefits! |

| Am a woman of 51 and have been on cymbalta (60 mg) for about four months (been on quite a few SSRI's for ten years). Side effect I have noticed more than any other is that I am losing my eyebrow hair (have virtually no eyebrows left) which is very distressing for me. |
