cymbalta for pain

I take 30 mgs at night to minimize brain fog and the it is constipating. As a result, I take Dulcolax liquid and eat a high vegetable diet, which controls it.

I’m very dismayed to read about constipation. I already have that. But I need something for the pain from my B12 deficiency. Burning is intense…intermittent. I can’t tolerate Gabapentin. I guess I’ll have to resume taking Miralax. And, give. Cymbalta a chance.

Sorry about the constipation issue I have been on Duloxetine generic Cymbalta for 8 years. I have spinal stenosis and arthritis in my spine So I have a lot of neuropathy drug definitely helps I have tried to get off of it several times And as previously mentioned the pain definitely comes back I have not researched the long-term implications of being on it I’m into quality of life not quantity

RB, what is Dulcolax liquid? I'm only familiar with the pill for. Also, are you referring to the Dulcolax product with bisacodyl? Thanks!

my neurologist upped my Cymbalta up from 30 mg to 60 mg once at night before bedtime because i came into his office for my checkup right after having an argument with my husband and
i was so upset that i had been crying !
Anyway the big problem was that I was already on Carbadopa /levodopa for Parkinsons !
for me it was a lot easier to com off of the carb/levo than the Cymbalta!
i have been looking for another neurologist !

Quality, not quantity.

I hear you. I've pretty much decided better living through chemistry is the way to go, too.

I do not like how expensive, and extensive, my med list is. But I am fond of not hurting.

I have been taking Cymbalta now for 21 days, 20mg. The side effects have not lessoned. I hate giving up it up, hoping the dizziness and nausea would go away. Should I hang in there? Maybe try every other day? Please advise. Thanks!

Get off the drug ! Obviously it does not agree with your body.
I found Cymbalta to be an absolutelty evil drug - one with horrific side effects and withdrawal symptoms. One word of warning, withdrawal (tapering down) must be tightly structured. I would actually delicately open up the capule with the tip of a steak knife (yes it can be done at the middle band of the capsule) and shake a few of the beads out - counting them as I went and then reassembling the capsule. Before hand, I made a 4 week taspering off schedule, approximating the number of beads to dispose of.

Go to the internet and google Cymbalta reviews of withdrawal. I wish you the best of luck Please touch base with us as time passes.

I have not taken Cymbalta, but it's one of the drugs approved for my fibromyalgia. For those trying to wean off, there is a support group on Facebook "Cymbalta Hurts Worse" that offers advice and support for slow tapering, which means gradually removing beads from the capsules.

I’m on 60 mg of Cymbalta for several months and still no relief from back pain. Interested to see what dose other people are on that relieved their pain
