Has anyone ever been on Duloxetine (Cymbalta) for nerve pain?

I share your feelings about the pain, and I am very sorry. Several actions worked to control my pain. 1. Notify your doctor or go to the ER immediately. you may have a clot in your leg, and they are obligated by law to control pain to the limit of what's possible. 2. Make sure your nutrition is sufficient and complete. 3. Keep the leg at a level higher than the heart. Clonidine (the medicine adjuvant to blood pressure) helped me with the weaning anxiety for several hours, under medical supervision. 3. Ensure your nutrition is OK. 4, Relax, listen to music, and have a good conversation, trick your pain with distraction. ALL PAIN IS TEMPORARY AND TREATABLE.
Good luck!

@duendecito3 Im so sorry for the forever delayed response...ADHD here, and my entire family. In response to what you said about the fam doc, I have not been to see her or go to ER (cause I didn't see your comment d'oh). The pain has increased as I'm down to 150 mg Pregabalin twice a day. Still on duloxetine as I was having a really hard time weaning off that, and figured one thing at a time. I have been laying down a lot, but Im also Post Op back surgery, so I need to walk. Its a six of one half dozen the other. Now I have Covid (at least wife tested positive and Im symptomatic) so I've been finally taking a breather the last couple days as wife is over the hump...anyhow enough of that. Nutrition wise. not good. i'm trying to keep up water intake as. best I can, I have not heard off Clonidine. I like listening to true crime podcasts and fiction James Patterson, specifically the cross series. It does help distract a bit. Just had repeat MRI done for Post surgery. That was done friday. December 21 had an ultrasound for pain in groin. Pain doc was concerned about hernia, it's not but mentioned a lymph node...I may as well be in just about every group Mayo clinic has at this point. Im complicated and have a daughter with SB (spina bifida) also currently recovering from feet surgery. (Her Post-Op is tomorrow, hoping casts come off its been 5 weeks). So we have very complicated medical stuff. Im sorry, I don't even know you and am literally vomiting my life's problems on you Im really sorry
Im on 300 pregabalin twice a day actually. Idk what happened, i just talked with pain doc the other day was supposed to go down to 300. day (150 morning and night) and now ive been on it since december 31 since my brain has been in limbo. i cant believe I was this stupid and it took me 5 days to realize the mistake. UGHHH! So annoyed. Don't see him till the 14 either....Im so annoyed. Was suppossed to go down not up
