Nausea

I have been taking Cymbalta now for 8 days. I have had very little side effects.Tonight, about 45 minutes ago, I felt like someone was taking my stomach and intestines and twisting them in a knot and then I became nauseated. I took a Prilosec and some Gas X. I ate the same thing the rest of the family ate for supper and they are fine. I have 2 questions.

Could this be related to the Cymbalta?
I absolutely have a phobia to throwing up. My mom has Ondansetron that she takes when she is nauseated. I know, I know, don't take someone else's prescription medicine, but if worse comes to worse, has anyone taken Ondansetron on here and know what to expect?

I hope you're feeling better today. You might want to give your Dr a call to see if it's alright to take Prilosec, or any other over the counter med, if this happens again. Some of the antacids can interact with antidepressants.

It may not have been related at all but it could have been. Many of these meds can mess with the digestive tract, my zoloft does it at times. Just like when I would have a panic attack I would have havoc in my intestines.

Def talk to your doc, it may not be anything even related :)

I took a prilosec and it went away at around bedtime last night. Ugh, I was miserable.

I went threw this while taking Cymbalta. The nausea would come out of no where at times. Can you give your Dr a call in the morning to let him/her know about the nausea? Your Dr will let you know what you can safely take with Cymbalta.
