Cymbalta and sleep?
 
hello, I'm recently taking cymbalta for a few weeks, slowly increasing the dosage...Sort of wanted to share about my experience, and see if others can help...

This med is having a calming effect. I notice my thinking changing somewhat, like I'm a little less anxious, but it isn't exactly taking away the depression.

Then, there is the effect on my sleep! I had a horrible time sleeping before, but it seems w-o-r-s-e on the cymbalta...

Wondering if others would share their experience...and could share if it got better. positive thoughts would be appreciated.

(thanks)

are you taking it in the mornings? i have heard that at 30mgs, it makes people tired, but at 60,it has the opposite effect.
for me, i just restarted at 30mg....sleep much better, and feel much better mentally
wish i could help more

Cymbalta and sleep
 
I'm currently taking 60mg of cymbalta and I have started sleeping ten to twelve hours a day. I do not have any depressive symptoms, so I can only link it to the Cymbalta. My Dr. had previously upped my dosage to 120mg, which made me a walking zombie. I did some research and found that 60+ mg of cymbalta had not shown any greater benefit than 60. Has anyone else experienced the sleeping all the time w/ cymbalta?
