I have been taking Cymbalta 60mg and I have noticed its benefits wearing off both physically and mentally. It used to be that when I missed a dose, I would feel “fuzzy,” almost like lightheadedness but without the headache, more like a rush of blood that makes me feel that way. Now even when I take the proper dosage, I feel this way. Is there a better term for this symptom than “fuzzy?” In more detail, I will have this kind of rushing heaviness for only a second; it goes through my whole body, mostly my head down through my torso. I will have times when I experience microscopic blackouts, where I will very briefly not remember what happened merely a couple of minutes ago. Thank you for cooperating with this very vague description.
I’ve been on the same med, same dose and 100% know the weird feeling you get from a missed dose. But completely forgetting what you did minutes ago? That’s not a normal effect with an SNRI. It’s also pretty unlikely that you’d develop a side effect after being on the medication. If anything, it usually goes the other way, where side effects fade away after being on a med for a while.
It’s possible that you’re getting some physical effect that’s unrelated to your Cymbalta, but maybe the physical effect reminds you of the feeling you get when you miss a pill.
