Cymbalta Side Effects

Cymbalta side effects can be potentially be quite serious, as can those of other antidepressants on the market.

As such, it is very important to take caution before taking these prescription medications, as they are often prescribed to patients that should definitely not be taking them.

Antidepressant Side Effects Cymbalta

Cymbalta is similar to another drug called Effexor, in that it acts to balance two chemicals though to play a role in depression: serotonin and norepinephrine. Other popular medications such as Prozac and Zoloft act on serotonin only.

Although these prescription drugs can help alleviate the symptoms of depression, their effects are only temporary and unfortunately once you stop taking them the depression returns.

More troubling however, is that Cymbalta side effects may cause serious health problems, and you may be worse off taking it than you would be otherwise.

Let's take a look at the antidepressant side effects Cymbalta could cause. This is taken directly from their official web site:

The most common problems: nausea, dry mouth, constipation, fatigue, decreased appetite, increased sweating, dizziness, and muscle weakness. Cymbalta and tiredness are commonly linked.

According to the prescribing information, patients with major depressive disorder "may experience worsening of their depression and/or the emergence of suicidal ideation and behavior."

As such they urge that patients are closely monitored since suicidal thoughts can be one of Cymbalta side effects.

Increased anxiety, agitation, mania, irritability and hostility have also been observed.

Another potential worry are sexual problems, and abnormal orgasms, ejaculatory problems, erectile dysfunction and a decrease in sex drive have all been reported.

In addition to Cymbalta and tiredness, cardiac problems, gastrointestinal disorders, liver problems and kidney/urinary trouble are all possible adverse reactions to this antidepressant.

So what's the answer?

While these pharmaceutical antidepressants do provide relief to millions of people suffering from depression, potential side effects cannot be ignored.
