Cymbalta / Yentreve (generic name: duloxetine) is an antidepressant that acts on brain chemicals that may be imbalanced. It belongs to a category of medications known as selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs). Its purpose is to boost serotonin and norepinephrine levels in the body. SNRIs can be helpful for severe depression and specific anxiety conditions, and might also alleviate chronic pain. In most cases, the effects of Cymbalta will start to be felt after 2-4 weeks.

Dosage

The prescribing doctor will decide the correct dose and may adjust it as needed. The typical doses for the different conditions are:

For diabetic nerve pain: 60 mg of Cymbalta once a day.
For chronic pain and anxiety: Most patients are given 60 mg daily. Some may start with 30 mg for a week, then switch to 60 mg.
For depression: Typically, 60 mg daily. Some prescriptions may start with 30 mg daily for a week, then switch to 60 mg. For older adults, the dose is usually 30 mg once a day for two weeks before it is increased to 60 mg once a day.

Read the information leaflet that comes with the medication.

Most people who use Cymbalta do not experience any negative side effects. Doctors prescribe Cymbalta because they assess that the benefits that such treatment yields outweigh any likely unwanted effects.

Cymbalta can cause some minor side effects, including dry mouth, drowsiness, tired feeling, mild nausea or loss of appetite or constipation. If these persist or get worse, talk to a healthcare provider of pharmacist.

If after taking a dose there is a sudden allergic reaction (anaphylaxis), with symptoms like swelling of the face, tongue or throat making it difficult to breathe or swallow, or there is wheezing, hives, rash, blistering or peeling of the skin, call a doctor or 911 right away, or go to a hospital emergency room immediately.

Angle Closure Glaucoma, showing as the widening of the pupils, can be an effect of antidepressants like Cymbalta in patients with naturally narrow angles who have not had surgery to remove the iris.

Sexual dysfunction or worries regarding sexual problems while taking Cymbalta should be discussed with the doctor, who may recommend some treatments.

Any new or worsening symptoms such as: mood or behavior changes, anxiety, panic attacks, trouble sleeping, or if there are impulsive, irritable, agitated, hostile, aggressive, restless, hyperactive (mentally or physically) feelings, more profound depression, or increased thoughts about suicide or self-harm should be reported to the prescribing doctor as soon as possible.

Pay attention to the “Black Box Warning” in the Cymbalta package. Like most antidepressants, Cymbalta may trigger suicidal thoughts and behavior in children, adolescents and adults under the age of 24. Therefore, patients should be monitored closely for changes in mood and behavior and the emergence of such symptoms.
