I take wellbutron 75 mg twice a day. I lost my only son to colin cancer. I was wondering if I could also take cymbalta 20mg too. I have been grieving for six months and I would like to function with less isolation .
Which mood stabilizer do you take? I need something I'm addition to my Wellbutrin.
Can you not just take a lesser amount of Cymbalta? Can't see why our dr would tell you to drop Cymbalta altogether.
Cymbalta is worse than lyrica in terms of withdrawal
When I stopped the Cymbalta I experienced severe dizziness.
My doctor tried different meds for the treatment of fibromyalgia and now has me on Cymbalta and Welbutrin. I have experienced so many strange things over the past 4 years, I don't know what to blame it on. My typical response in 4 instances have been brought on by extreme anger, frustration, or grief and have made me react in illogical, irrational ways, such as becoming aggressive, falling, unable to walk, and black outs where I've been reported to be "extreme", and of which I have no memory. Is this the same type of things that happened with your mom? I have had 2 strokes in one day 4 years ago and after having my fourth attack 2 weeks ago, upon going to my doctor yesterday my blood pressure was 150/90 where it had been 120/82 three months before.I am constantly confused and forgetful and would like to stop all medication. Please let me know how they treated your mom. Thanks
Been on Wellbutrin 150xl and cymbalta 60 for a few months (Wellbutrin for 10 years in SR/IR combos) think the 2 meds work well together. Cymbalta added some sexual side effects that are bothersome but an ED med seems to work.No weight gain either.
I am taking Cymbalta 30 mg now dr wants to add Wellbutrin Sr. 150 cuz Cymbalta left me with no energy, helped with fibro pain, but just tired all the time. But, I have several friends that have taken just the Wellbutrin and have gained a lot of weight. I really don't want that at all. The Cymbalta and not being able to be as active as I want has already added the lbs. Any help on this matter. Kinda scared to take the combo, but really tired of feeling bad all the time !!! Anybody else feel my pain ??!! Lol
Well, I have been reading some people don't gain weight. I guess you have to try and see for yourself. I was on Cymbalta and kept my weight down nicely. I was put on the Wellbutrin to combine with the Cymbalta. I have gained weight, so I am thinking this is why. I decided to stop taking the Cymbalta and see what the Wellbutrin does by itself. Too soon to tell. I guess you can only try and see you it works for you.
I take cymbalta 6o mg and it doesn't help with my restless leg (which is horrific) I take gabapentin 3, 300 mg at night, would love to get off of it though. Lyrica has some terrible side effects. I'd recommend replacing it with the gabapentin not cymbalta. For myself, im requesting the addition of Wellbutrin to help my dopamine levels and some recent weight gain that has an emotionally devastating effect on me. I've also got terrible nausea.
What was your experience like coming off the Wellbutrin? I'm taking it now. It wondering about the effects of tapering off
I have fibromyalgia, I take both Wellbutrin and Cymbalta. I tolerated the Wellbutrin perfectly, my weight was totally normal. As soon as they added Cymbalta for pain, the pain got better and I put on 15 pounds in a month. I had the same thing happened when they tried to give me a different medication in the same class as Cymbalta.
What is provogil?
Ive been coming off cymb for a couple weeks and replacing it with Wellbutrin I've came off this before now the withdrawal is a mfer excuse me but it's awful there's got to be an easierway
I have been taking cymbalta and Wellbutrin for over a year now and adding Wellbutrin saved my life. I finally feel normal again, laugh with my kids, play with them outside and can focus and function at work. It works for me, and my have lost weight! I am guessing it's because I have more energy. It also helped me get through the winter, which is a really hard time for me.
