Can Cymbalta cause insomnia?


Recommended Posts

I was expecting it to make me drowsy, but I'm wide awake like I was when I was on Abilify and had to start taking it in the AM. I'll probably see how it works for me in the mornings. I took the pill at about 9:30 last night. Can I take a morning pill at about 9am so I can start a morning regimen?

Insomnia is one of the reported side effects, unfortunately.

I find that, as with most anti-depressants, you never really know until you've started taking it, because they can have a different effect on everyone. Of course, some of them (e.g. mirtazipine) are known to have a specific sedative effect. However, with most of them it's the luck of the draw.

I'd speak to your doctor, but there shouldn't be any reason why you can't switch to taking it in the morning.
