Cymbalta 30 Mg Day 2

Hi everyone,

I was just put on Cymbalta 30mg once per day yesterday. Just took my second dose and the symptoms I am having remind me so much of what I had felt like 4 yrs ago on 25mg of Topamax 2x a day. Dry mouth and nausea I can understand but its the burning tingling feeling around and on my lips and part of my nose, chin area. Last night I experienced the brain zaps, stomach pain and severe nausea. My head feels like its in a cloud and as I am sitting here that burning tingling sensation has moved to my left ear. When I had been on Topamax I was sick feeling like this for the full 6 months I was on it and it took months to feel better after I came off. That is why I am concerned about continuing on this medication. Is this medication somehow related to Topamax? Topamax is an anti-seizure medication that I was taking for migraines.

Thank you,

Kris

My advice/opinion is to get off the Cymbalta before you get addicted like the rest of us! If you think going on is bad, just wait until you try to get off of it...HORRIBLE!! Way worse than going on. If you think an herb/natural substance could cure your situation (not sure why you were put on Cymbalta), then I would go that route for sure.
...of course I'm in the process of weaning off 30mg Cymbalta, so slightly biased and feel terrible today.
