First two months of treatment we thought “This” was the wonder drug! Two months later my wife could not walk over 100. Ft. Or care for her own personal needs. Please study this drug there are literally hundreds of pages of true patients harmful effects. She got off the drug by cold turkey but was literally dying due to cymbalta.

@crbarefoot I am on 20mg of Cymbalta (duloxetine) for anxiety and depression. This is a low dose that I have stayed on for a few years. I don’t take it for neuropathic pain so I cannot comment on that. It works for me for anxiety and depression. If I increased the dosage (at one time I was on 30mg) I get more relief from anxiety symptoms but I decided that I wanted to use my mindfulness practice and coping skills along with this lower dose. So I do get anxiety symptoms that are triggered for a situation or event and I use my skills. I can function and live a good life even when anxiety symptoms do occur because I know now how to manage. The Cymbalta helps to make anxiety and depression manageable. By the way, I haven’t had any side effects even when I started Cymbalta.
Are you taking something else for anxiety, depression and neuropathic pain and you are switching to Cymbalta?
My husband takes Cymbalta for Fibromyalgia & IBS. It has helped . He takes 30 mg 2x daily.
He has anxiety, Fibromyalgia, IBS, & migrains . I find that these disorders often occur togather.

Thank you for your input. I am having right sided diaphragm pain and muscular pain. I am on 20 mg for 5 days and now on 40 mg for 6 days. Was hoping I could get by on a lower dose and did not know how long it would take to start working. Also treating anxiety and depression. But pain control is a big goal for me. Ty!

I am on 60mg of Cymbalta and it has helped me a lot with fibromyalgia and neuropathy pain. I have more energy and can get through my days now. The only side effect was when I started it I had a bit of nausea so doctor told me to take it after breakfast, which helped.
@crbarefoot That all sounds like a good plan. Is Cymbalta what your medical provider recommended when you discussed tapering off clonazepam and gabapentin?

I am taking clonazepam which I would like to taper off and low dose gabapentin. I hoped Cymbalta could enable me to stop gabapentin and clonazepam.
Did she regain her function and do you know what dose she was on?
Do you mind if I ask how much your husband weighs and if he has any side effects?
