Well, it's my only option. Doctors offices aren't open on weekends...and the hospital will not give advice over the phone.

I have been taking Cymbalta since Nov but a little over a month ago, I had the dose increased from 20 mg to 30 mg...and lately I have noticed I am bruising really really easily...and getting little patches of blood stuck under the skin which I squeeze and it squirts out (gross...sorry...) And my nose is bleeding on the inside...it feels really dry and hurts inside...I guess it may be from allergies...and last week when I had blood work done...it didn't want to clot...and the lady had to press on it for a long time to get it to stop bleeding...she asked if I took asprin, which I don't. Could this be from the Cymbalta? Has anyone else experienced this sort of thing before? Either on Cymbalta or from something else?

I think you need to get off of the computer right NOW and go to ER I just spoke to an EMT and that is what he told me to tell you. If you are brusing that bad any little thing could cause you to have a severe bleed out. When you go to the ER take your meds with you and if you can't drive yourself call ems/911

I don't think it's that serious...I haven't had a new bruise in a few days...maybe it was the antibiotic I was taking making it worse?

So, if you bleed out over the weekend, will you still think it wasn't that serious? Nah, I'd let it wait til Monday too. Why be inconvenienced with a trip to a MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL when you can ask people online what to do?

Like someone else posted, get your butt to an ER, pronto!

Edited to add:

After adding this to my post, I will not be addressing any health issues you have. I can only hope that other people that visit the fora will follow suit. For one thing, it is illegal in my state to give any type of medical advice without a license. For a second thing, you give one excuse after another as to why you can not or should not address your health issues with MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS. If you haven't noticed before this is not a websited dedicated to medical issues. Have a happy life.

Every doctor has a service that will get a message to him or an assoc.

Go to the hospital dp.Have you realised that you can be bleeding INSIDE and not see it? Just call 911 and go to the hospital or pay your parents the gas money to take you.If you don't have the gas money then call an ambulance and tell them you need to go because you are having serious side effects.

My friend who is in med school said that I'm probably just anemic.

From now on, perhaps you should ask your friend all of your medical questions. We're done here.
