The weather turned out fine so I went down and got it. It has the same side effects as the elmiron. Dizzy, feeling sick and a very very very bad stomach ache. Will these ever go away? Think it might cause diarhirea too because my belly is "talking" to me. Of course I already have those 3 symptoms to begin with so making them worse doesn't help but I only take it once a day. 30 mgs. I don't know what is up but it seemed like everyone in the city decided to get groceries this afternoon! talk about nerves going. I had to park at the very end of the parking lot at Sam's and walk it.

Mary...I did a search on Cymbaltaź(duloxetine HCl) and found this: SIDE EFFECTS: The most common side effects noted with duloxetine are nausea (experienced by about 1 to 2 of every 5 patients), dry mouth (1 of 6), constipation (1 of 9), diarrhea (1 of 10), fatigue (1 of 10), difficulty sleeping (1 of 9), dizziness (1 of 10).

I looked on the info that came with it. Should have done that to begin with huh? :bonk: Its says stomach pain is one of the serious side effects. Just my luck I get one of those. Not the lesser ones. It has worked wonders for my depression. Not depressed at all, don't feel like crying and shaking stopped. :woohoo: I want to get some cleaning done but stomach is killing me! Worse then the bladder pain. I've noticed it gets worse when I eat. I only took half vicoden since that bothers my stomach too. Will see how it goes tomorrow. maybe it's just something I ate instead of the pill. The dizziness did go away after the first 4 hours but the sick feeling stayed. Maybe this is why people lose weight on it? Thanks for looking it up for me.

I saw that you halved your Vicodin. I just wanted to let you know that it is dangerous to do if the pill are not scored. Mine aren't so I can't but maybe yours are. I just wanted you to know just in case.

Oh Good! I wish mine did! I don't know why it doesn't. I guess different manufactures.
