I'm scheduled for Major surgery (neck) this coming Weds. Had a Lspine shot this past Monday. So, because I was feeling pooky from Epidural, I attributed, headache, body-pain, sweats, chills, trots (sorry folks) to spine shot. Lo & Behold, just this morning, I realized I had forgotten to take my 60 mg Cymbalta for roughly 4-5 days. I took pill this morning as soon as I realized. So here's what I need HEL with: will Cymbalta be in place by Weds for my surgery (2 days)? Is there any aide I can take to help me feel better (Tylenol or ..?). I can't take anything that thins blood because of surgery. I keep thinking I sabatoged myself out of fear of having surgery. What a tangled web...
For those who might suggest I get a pill box with dates, I'm on it. Also, although it won't be easy to do, I can postpone surgery one more week. Already postponed for a cold which is what Zi thought I've had all week.
Thanks!

Something similar happened to me. I was taking antibiotics and allergy medicine, etc and just forgot to take the Cymbalta for 4-5 days and when I realized it, it was too late. All the symptoms started. I so wish I could go back to that week and take the dang Cymbalta. I took it right away but here I sit three weeks later in tears still messed up. It is different for everyone of course but I'd say see how you feel tomorrow and the next. If postponing isn't a big deal and would make you feel better, then by all means postpone. Good luck.
