Always Hopeful,
I'm glad you started a new topic dedicated to Cymbalta (generic name: duloxetine). It has been discussed in various discussions throughout Connect by a number of members, like @sandytoes14 @kdubois @jimhd @oldnana @kathyv @lauriedr @jenapower @janie56 to name a few.
Always Hopeful, while we wait for others to join the conversation, can you tell us a bit more about why you are asking about Cymbalta? What type of pain are you managing? Do you already take Cymbalta or has it been recently suggested to you?

Hi @AlwaysHopeful,
It would be amazing if you could start a new discussion in the Chronic Pain group to tell us about your experience with the cognitive behaviour therapy class. There are a couple of other members who have done it too. Let's bring current participants, graduates and future participants of the class together in one place.
Here's how to start a new discussion:
1. Go to the Chronic Pain group here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/pain/
2. Click the START A DISCUSSION button.
3. Add a title like "Taking a Cognitive Behavior Class - anyone else?
4. Write your first message, inviting people to join you.
5. Click CREATE DISCUSSION.
@JustinMcClanahan will be sure to bring others into the discussion.
I have idiopathic peripheral neuropathy, both feet. I've had this for past 30 years. Then took Cymbalta which was a disaster. Put me in hospital for 2 days, due to drug-induced psychosis
@AlwaysHopeful I think the Dr,s and drug companies need to know what a horrible drug this is ,one pill is all it took for me to stop it and throw them away.
I was on Cymbalta for about six months and have winged off the medication. I have been off the medication for ten days and I am still nauseated to where I cannot eat and I feel miserable. Is there anyone else going through withdrawal. I am so miserable when will this end does anyone have any insights on how to help with the nausea?

Colleen, I am dealing with chronic pain issues and Cymbalta was recommended by a pain management doctor. I will be seeing my primary care physician tomorrow and will be asking her for a prescription. For residents of Rochester, Mayo offers a 12 week cognitive behavior therapy class for chronic pain. It's in a small group format and meets once a week for an hour and a half. This is so much better schedule wise than the three week class for five days a week.
