I have been off of 60mg Cymbalta for about two months now, mainly because I now have a crappy insurance plan and can no longer afford it. I have had no problems so far, being off of this medication (thank god!). Anyway, I have two questions. One is, I noticed that every month when I get my period, I get very emotional and irritable for about 3 days until it is over. This is something that has never happened before when I was on the medication. Has anyone else experienced this? I was also wondering if there are any known long term side affects from this medication. I have been taking the same dose (60mg) for about four years now. I know that these drugs process through the liver, has anyone heard of long term effects?? (for examply liver scarring, similar to what alcoholics have?)
I started getting terrible PMS symptoms since being on Cymbalta the past few years. I have often increased my dosage from 60 to 90mg during the week prior to my period. As I am coming down in dosage I am noticing that my mood is SO sad and irritable during the week prior to my period. But then again.......I am having a period every 2 weeks now since weaning. Talk about adding insult to injury
