My doctor perscribed 60 mg of Cymbalta for nerve pain and leg spasams.....1 Capsule at bed time. Well it has been 2 days and everyone is telling me I am all lathargic and sluring my speech.. Yesterday I felt all goofy but today I feel okay, but my wife says I am still out there.... I also take a very strong narcotic pain releiver which causes no sideeffects, I have been taking it for so long.... But I don't want to be walking around lik a zombie, I have to kids I have to be responsiable for.

Cymbalta is prescribed for depression, but also for physical pain that can come along with a chemical imbalance in the brain. I assume your doctor knows that you are taking the narcotic as well. He prescribed the drugs together for a reason. Like the narcotic, the side effects from the Cymbalta will ease as your body gets used to it. It just takes longer than 2 days. Give it some time. This website: http://www.depressionhurts.com/index.jsp is from the makers of Cymbalta and can tell you a bit more about how it works for pain.

Cymbalta can be found on the internet. They have a website. It sounds like you are having some significant side effects and the CNS symptoms may be an additive effect with your narcotic. If this persists you should contact your pharmacist and/or your physician and discuss your options with him.

Cymbalta is for depression. My husband takes it and he never sleeps and has no real side effects from it. He has to take sleeping pills to go to sleep and never slurs or anything. But, medicine works different on everybody.

why are you taking it if you are also taking a very strong pain killer. its dangerous to be mixing drugs. youre taling a pill that is prescribed for depression. dont let him experiment with you. its a way for him to get these drug makers to get off his back.
