Has anyone taken this combination and, if so, what were the results?

Thank you for your time and take care,

Sorry FamilyGuy . . . I have no experience with those. I did find a site once where people would comment on certain drugs. If I can find it again, I'll post it.

OK . . . I Googled the two words and came up with quite a few sites you could try if you want:

http://www.google.com/search?q=Wellbutrin+Cymbalta&sourceid=firefox&start=0&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

I did not see the one I was looking for though . . . and my time is tight the next couple days. I hope you find some info in those pages.

It would be nice though if someone from HW could tell you their experience with these.

Blessings!

Thanks for the responses Rosie and Mela. Well I got a horrible case of nausea and explosive D yesterday agout 4 hours after my first dose. *sigh* Guess it's back to the drawing board....

Sooooo sorry Jon. I am very sensative to new meds too. I usually check with doc or pharmacist to see if I can split the pills or start on a smaller does and build up to the prescribed amount . . . A lot of those types of side effects go away after your body adjusts . . . but if you have chrons or other chronic gastro probs it might just be a no no for you. Sounds like you really had it rough. I hope it was a sample and not a full prescription that you paid for and can't use.

I am starting out on half a dose for a week then the doc wants me to up it to the full dose. I was on Cymbalta aone a few months back and it didn't seem to help me much, so we moved on to another. When I was on it earlier I didn't experience near this level of side effects. Just took the second dose about 2 hours ago. Judging by yesterday I have about 2 hours til I "blow."

Thankfully they are samples that I got and not a prescription. Thank you for your thoughts.

Jon . . . you brave soul. Let us know how you tolerate this dose. I'm sending a prayer up for you!!

Blessings!

Not brave, just desperate. I'm doing better than I was on Thursday. Just moderate nausea and cramping--nothing I can't handle. Now I can wait and hope that I see some improvement. Thanks for the prayers. :-)

Thanks for the update Jon . . . glad that the side effects are decreasing. Now we'll hope that the med is doing its job for you!!

Blessings!
