Does Cymbalta have sexual side effects like Prozac and other drugs like that? I read where Cymbalta works pretty well for Fibro

hi starre,
i have no idea. have you asked the pharmacist for a print out on it? often you can get that without getting the actual drug. helps you decide if you want it in your body.
sexual side affects of drugs mess with the male mind. you have enough on your plate.
i could not let you go lost in the land of "huh?" so i thought a reply was in order.
i am curious also, so when you find out would you post please? unfortunatly i only know women on it. sorry kiddo. oh, and it does not seem to bother my daughter, course she is a girl! what can i say? the only men i know with fibro are here at healthboards.
peace,

hello, i don't know anything about the side effects for men, but i took it for 3 1/2 years. the last 6 months or so i've thought about suicide everyday. i didn't tell my doc because i thought he'd say i was crazy. I finally asked to be switched to something else about 3 weeks ago. i'm feeling better mentally. it was scary. i did go in this week and talked to my doc's nurse about the suicide stuff. she thanked me and said i'd be surprised how many people get the same feelings.

just be careful and monitor his moods. i'm alone, and it was a gradual thing for me.
