My third day of taking 20mg Cymbalta I couldn’t stand still. As soon as I woke up I had a feeling of fainting. It took me three hours to be able to stand up without feeling of fainting. 

Is anyone else had such a experience at the beginning of using this medication? 

I just need to know if I have to quit taking it? Or this is just a side effect at beginning and it will go away? 

I appreciate helping me with UR experiencesmile

    If I New what. Adreadfrul drug cymbalta was, I would never have gone on it, it’s taken 2 years for me to taper from 50mg and in now on 26mg bd..... please stop taking it, do it slowly and find something more natural to take.  cymbalta is not a safe drug to take.  I’ve lost so many months not being able to function, and lost my nursing job.  Please try and quit and go a healthier route...good luck
