experiences with duloxetine (Cymbalta) for PN?

Hi--I'm among the fortunate who have little pain from my idiopathic PN. Foot numbness, tingling, foot drop, and an awkward gait are the symptom that hit me suddenly about four years ago. My question: Has anyone else had no effect at all from Gabapentin or Duloxetine? I'm on the latter right now -- I was told it's an anti-depressant that helps with PN -- and I'm thinking about dropping it. I also take a nightly Ambien to sleep and I use a CPAP machine as well. My morning drowsiness sticks with me into the afternoon and I feel more disorganized than usual for a good part of the day. Any thought?

just use lower dose I take both medicine in evening or night. I sleep pretty well.

Hi, I also take Duloxetine after Two years ago trying Gap and Lyerica. They were no help, only gained 25 pounds. I lost the weight after a year and my Neuroligist placed me on Duloxetine(30mg) inj Aug of this year...COULD'NT BE HAPPIER. I requested to up the dose to 60 mg. My joints fell much bettewr and the Knumbness is less. I take 10 mg of Anmien for sleep as well.

Good Luck!
