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

I was on brand name Cymbalta for 17 years for neuropathy and fibromyalgia (?), brand name only because the generic didn’t help and caused side effects. Eli Lilly stopped making the brand name Cymbalta several months back and I was cut off cold turkey when the pharmacy couldn’t get it anymore. I started taking Alpha Lipoic Acid out of desperation. My every day (not flares) pain level has gone down quit a bit. Coincidence???

@tiggaroo may I ask how much alpha Lipo acid you are taking? After seven years of occasional electrical type pain in upper thigh and tailbone which became constant five years ago with no improvement, I was put on 200 mg of Alphalipoic acid and 400 mg twice a day of magnesium oxide. No improvement in my pain. Just wondered how many milligrams you are taking and how long it took to see the improvement? Thank you!
