Cymbalta
I'm trying to figure out if I'm in a flare or if it's the Cymbalta. Earlier this week I upped my Cymbalta (to 60mg - I just started it at 30 about 10 days ago). All week I've been really fatigued (both physically and mentally). I feel like someone just stuck a vaccuum up to me and sucked out all the energy. I'd be perfectly happy to just sit in a chair and stare off in space (or go to bed and do it for that matter), but I feel like I have to do something (so the tv is on).
I was in a really bad flare all weekend, and PT helped that on Monday. It was Tuesday (I think) when I upped my Cymbalta and every day it's just been worse and worse with the fatigue. Did anyone else run into this with Cymbalta? I had this problem previously on an anti-depressant when I got up to the rec dosage and sometimes have a low tolerance for meds. So I'm stuck wondering if it's that or if I'm just in a flare. I think I'm going to try going back to the 30mg tomorrow for the weekend and see if it helps at all.
