Does anyone take Zimbalta? I just started taking 20 mg. Once a day. This is my first day. It made me feel sleepy and I felt a little nausea. I took it in the morning, U think I will take it at night instead. I am just wondering if the nausea issue will get better in time as my body gets used to it. It did help some with the pain so I would like to try to get used to it. Feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thankyou in advance.

    Debbie is it cymbalta ? 

    I did take it for 10 days. Lowest dose too I was crippled wirh nausea. Really kicked In day 5.  Now my friend takes it and finds it good for her nerve pain.  Unfortunately I suffer terrible side effects from meds.  I am yet to find any anti depressant that I can handle. Tried about 10! 

    Defo good few forums online about s/e of that drug. Hope it subsides for you. I couldn’t deal with it. Was miserable.

      Thankyou fir your response. The nausea subsided after about an hour. I am going to take it at night and see how I do. I am hoping that it will subside as my body gets used to it. It did help with the pain so that is a plus. It also made me sleepy so taking it at night will work better for me. Have a great day! Thanks again!
