it is possible that this is just a temporary side-effect as your body adjusts to the new drug. i would probably take a few more doses and go from there. i recently started zoloft for anxiety (along with my klonopin which i have been on for 2 years) and i have had no side effects after 5 days. none of the typical gastrointestinal nausea etc. however cymbalta is an snri and zoloft is an ssri. i am not sure but i do believe that snris can come with more side effects. you may want to ask your doctor why an snri was chosen.
i recently starting taking cymbalta for anxiety and every time i stand my head throbs like when your sick. is this okay? . i have only been taking cymbalta for two days now. immediately i felt this problem though. the day that i received the medicine i took it about mid-day later that evening is when i began to feel the head throbbing as i stood. i was on lexapro and i didnt have this side effect before that i tried celexa and had the same problem. its a throbbing pounding that last for a few seconds the same way your head pounds when your sick and you stand up. should i go back to the doctor or wait it out?
