I am in my first trimester. I've taken Cymbalta for over a year to help with my anxiety/depression. As soon as I found out I was pregnant, I met with the Dr to discuss my options. She said Cymbalta is still very new...so I took the dose back to 30 mil...and she said I could start to wean myself off by taking every other day and then every three days. Well I tried to skip today and I had all kinds of dizziness...coupled with my pregnancy symptoms, including extreme tiredness, etc...I didn't do well. And then I was super emotional today....I think part of it is hormones...but I am upset that I ended up taking a 30 mil just to get over the dizziness symptoms. They were too intense....
Did you take Cymbalta while pregnant without any negative side effects??
Re: Anyone take Cymbalta while pregnant?
I did suffer with PPD so I went back on Cymbalta within 10 days of giving birth. I know there are people who are totally against being on an antidepressant during pregnancy but you have to do what works best for you. Healthy Your OB should be able to suggest a safe medication for you. If not, go to your family doctor. Happy/Healthy Mommy=Happy/Healthy Baby
