There are a lot better antidepressants than Cymbalta with far less side effects.
I think Zoloft ( Sertraline) is the most described SSRI in that family of drugs and is very well tolerated by the vast majority of people. Combine it with Wellbutrin and give it a try.
Let us know how it goes if you decide to do that.

Sertraline does not have the same beneficial effect on chronic pain, which is what I use it for. This was last on the list of things to try that my body can tolerate and is not an opioid. Thankfully, it has been working for 5 years now without large dosage increases.

I found I get reasonable relief of my musculoskeletal pain (almost my entire spine is a mess except for an area of thoracic below T2. The rest is fused operatively except for areas in my cervical spine above C5 and that shows as fused on my scans etc which the neurosurgeons say is the body’s way to protect itself.
I do have depression and have had chronic pain for over a decade. Other areas have had surgery and those are doing ok. So I stay on duloxetine.
