Hi, I've been taking Cymbalta for over two years for depression. I take 60 mgs and never had that reaction in fact it makes me really tired if I take it early in the day, so I have to take it in the evening. (I wish it would pep me up a little, I could certainly use it!) Maybe ask your doctor for a mood stabilizer to go along with it, or something like Klonopin for the anxiety/agitation. I take that for anxiety as needed and it really helps. Good luck!

Cyn2106, You may want to consider speaking with your pharmacist about potential side effects and address any other question you may have regarding your medication. They may be able to give you a little information than did your doctor. Danielle ___________________ The DC Support Team

Hi Everyone, I have been taking Duloxetine 30 mg for just over 3 weeks. I have been given it for depression/anxiety as I have recently started to have panic attacks. My mood has definitely improved, I am less tearful, but I feel very jittery and twitchy and am agitated most of the time. This seems to have have got worse since I started the medication. I have seen my doctor today and she says the symptoms cannot be attributed to the medication, and has increased the dose to 60mg. I am very worried about this. Has anyone else who has been taking Duloxetine had similar symptoms?? Any advice would really be appreciated
