HI new here!

I do not have experience with Cymbalta....but I wanted to welcome you to HW. It is late at night here in the US, so I don't know that you will receive many responses until tomorrow (or while you sleep!)

I do, however, have experience with back surgery. I've had 2 myself. You are obviously still in the healing stages and I hope your recovery is going well. Walk, walk, walk..and nothing else..that is what my doctor's orders were for my first 6-8 weeks after surgery. He wanted me walking at least 2 miles a day.

Welcome to HW, jump right in, post, and get to know us, and we will get to know you!

Welcome to HealingWell and I am Kitt.  I take Cymbalta 90 mg daily.  It works ok but I still have issues with depression so I do fight my battles but I have found so many wonderful members here to support me that I have to admit my problems are small compared to others.

I am so glad you  joined us and I hope you find peace here.

Hi there and Welcome to HealingWell!

There are lots of people who have experience of Cymbalta here. You might want to try searching for some threads with Cymbalta in the title... im sure there are loads. Most people seem to get on well with it, but if you have problems there are plenty of others out there. We'd love to see you in the Epilepsy forum as well if you fancy dropping by.

All the best

HI there,

i take 60 mg's of cymbalta everymorning and it didn't really start helping me untill i went into an outpatient group therepy program it was from 10 to 4:40 everyay for 3 weeks or so. there were 6 therepists.a shrink you saw 3 times a week and when I finnally faced my issues on one of the groups, and worked on them for two weeks I feel no more depression. I am so happy now. do you see a pcyhocologist or a shrink? that really helps too I don't think scymalta can help alot of people unless they are in talk therepy as well. not like mine nessararely. But even just once a week with a therepist who you like . Somethimes it takes a long time to find one thats good.
Good luck,
Knitwit

Thank for your posts!
@knitwit: I was in therapy from when i was 9 years old to about when i was 18 and then again ina day clinic for 3 months in 2002 didnt help me....
I am happyfor you that you could work on yourself and sort things out I don t seem to be able to.

@froggy: I am taking 60 mg cymbalta for 2 months now and is has gotten worse....
I also take Vitamin B complex , Vitamin C and multi Mineral.
With the Citalopram it was like heaven at first and after about 4 years the effects wore off and it wasn t working anymore. I didn t have highs except in the beginning and after about three months i was stable.

Cymbalta 60 mg .... Is there hope....

We always welcome people onto Epilepsy to share their story with other people. The fact that you have been seizure free for 12 years is fantastic. Also, we dont have many members who take sodium valporate / epilim. I think you could help other people and that could, in turn, help you.
