Positive input for Cymbalta relieving anxiety, depression and pain

Thank you! I am wondering if I can get pain relief on 40 mg. I think I already feel better. I would like to keep it at the lowest dose possible. Glad you are doing so well!

My neurologist prescribed Cymbalta for neuropathy pain a few years ago. I can't say that it gave significant pain relief, but it certainly improved my mental well-being. I've been taking Wellbutrin for 18 years, and several years ago added Mirtazapine. When I started Cymbalta I had motivation to do things that I'd had on my to do list for a long time. It's continued to be a stabilizer for my depression and PTSD. Even though it doesn't seem to help with my pain, I feel the difference in other ways.
At this point I'm taking 60mg twice a day.

Yes, I think you can get pain relief from 40mg. I started with 10, then, 20, then 30, 40, 50 and 60 which is what two doctors recommended. I understand 120 is the highest dose and 60 is average.
