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

I’m currently on 60 mg of duloxetine for what we think is fibromyalgia. I started at 30mg after trying gabapentin which was horrible for me.
I honestly don’t think I could survive without duloxetine for my physical issues and depression. That’s just for me though. Gabapentin made it so I couldn’t walk so I stopped taking it after only after a few days and it was terrible getting off of even after just 3 days.

Can you please say what issues you had with walking? I'm on gabapentin for neuropathy too BUT...I've had back issues for 20 years. My thighs will get numb if I stand too long in one place. That's from my back. I'm also on chemotherapy since March so its hard to discern what's from the back nerve issues and what's from the chemotherapy. My last treatment is June 30th, Monday so maybe I'll see shortly. Anyway, my legs will get wobbly sometimes. I can't cone up my steps anymore without holding on to something. My knees just don't feel strong enough to make that step up supporting my weight on just 1 leg. I take 4 400mg a pills a day. I've never had problems before and have actually fallen twice in the last month. I know chemo makes you weak but I was just wanting to know what your exact issues were. Thanks
