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

I have been on Duloxetine for fibromyalgia, lupus and arthritis pain for 10 years. Without it I’m in so much pain I can’t function. I put up with the side effects (dizziness, dry mouth). Everybody is different.

What dosages have you been taking please? My primary care provider started me on 20 mg and within a week, my pain was gone. After two weeks it came back so she prescribed 30 mg. Not much difference and I recently had a bad flare up due to weather. But better again and I can sleep.

I hesitate to take a higher dosage…afraid of more side affects. So far only dry mouth.
