Cymbalta helps me greatly with no perceived side effects on my 2nd time trying it at a reduced dose. It also was a “miracle” for my mother (her description) . It took away severe arthritis pain in her hands.
However, the first time I took it, I was started at 40 mg and had such nausea, I couldn’t get off the couch all day. In desperation and knowing how well it had served my mother I tried it again years later, only at 20 mg plus an anti-nausea drug and had absolutely no problems after that.
