Cymgen is a brand name version of the antidepressant whose chemical name is Duloxetine. In another version it is sold as Cymbalta. It is one of the newish antidepressants, and works on both serotonin AND noradrenaline, whereas some antidepressants focus mainly on one of those brain chemicals much more than the other. Like all antidepressants, it is effective in many people, though not everyone, and is well worth trying. Like all ADs, it needs something like a couple of weeks to show its full likely benefit, before one would review it and decide whether to continue on it or try a different AD

Thought I'd also comment, although ADs doesnt work the same for everybody. Ive had valdoxane for a couple of weeks and it didnt work at all, so to the exstreme that I was admitted to Denmar, excellent hospital with excellent nurses and doctors. I was put on cymgen60+30mg (90mg) in total. I started on 30mg and within hours i felt better. Although major depressive disorder is a constant battle, i have hopefully found an AD that works for me. it's a little more than 2 weeks now and i realise it will take another 2-3 weeks to know if it fully works.

Started Cymgen today for Fybromyalgia. Was very nauseous within 2 hours of taking them but my doctor warned me of this and told me to persevere. Has anyone experienced the same symptoms and how long will this last?

Great Tablet for some people. Careful though, one size does not fit all!

my doctor started me on these capsules today, we have tried about 5 different types of medication, but none seemed to work. I took my first capsule this morning and have been feeling a bit in the clouds today, will that change?
