Cymbalta


16 years ago 0 51 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
   Is anyone else taking cymbalta out there? Been taking it for a month, it seems to relieve the depression symptoms but having some side effects. My heart rate seems to go up during the course of the day. Starts out ok in the morning(77),but then starts to go up,especially after about noon, hits 100, 110,120. We tried reducing the dose and it seemed to help to start with, but now it's right back doing the things it was before. Seems to get especially bad after I eat something. Yesterday I took my wife to lunch and afterwards, not only did my heart rate go up(128), but my blood pressure dropped(78 over 64). Have to call my doctor today, but just wondering if anyone had anything similar. Was taking effexor before , it didn't seem to work as quick, but didn't have these side effects.
