Has anyone switched their meds from morning to night after being on them a while? I stay so tired all day even after getting a good nights sleep. Ive been on the meds for four months and wasnt sure if my body would go nuts switching abruptly. Thing are bad enough as they are. I dont want to do anything to make it worse.

it had been like 6 months or more ...
30 mg of cymbalta ... nausea went away ... once i started taking them at night. i really didnt have any symptoms that i can remember. you should be ok since youre body is used to taking them.

i was on 30 for about a month then i decided to switch to taking it at night, i was very scared at the time but done it , ni side effects nothing, now i sleep all night and great all day, iv been on cit for over three years 10 for 8 weeks, 20 8 weeks, 30 for around 6 months but found 30 was too high, i had very strange eyes sensations and tired alot so i went straight down to 20 and felt much better straight away, i took 20 instead of 30 one night and woke up to life again, this is how i found my level. good luck
