I don't have any swelling. Just real jittery and dazed. It has been three weeks for me on Sunday.

My feet and legs are swollen and I have never been swollen in my life......if anyone else has this let me know.

I don't, and if you don't typically have this type of thing, you should see a doctor about it. Remember to take care of your whole self, and don't assume that any oddities that you are feeling are all attributed to Cymbalta; you may be ignoring something that needs attention right away. If you are not particularly active, you could have circulatory issues, such as deep vein thrombosis, or cellulitis, neither of which should be ignored. Please, contact your doctor, okay?

Thanks, I have a doctor's appointment today, the swelling is gone now. Ill just tell the doc and go from there. Now I am not sure it wasnt from just being on my feet a lot lately. I had a EKG 3weeks ago it was great and BP great.....I have never had anything wrong with me like that and the only thing different is not smoking for 2 months and stopping the Cymbalta meds so I was grabbing at straws. Could be the extra weight which I am working on now.............

Thanks for responding....the doc seems to think it could be from coming off Cymbalta because it was a single incidence. I had the pitting in my ankle too ------my son liked poking it and watching as the indention stayed :roll: kids
