Has anyone had experience using cymbalta for pain relief?

@parus I was without Cymbalta for a few days and it gave me some of the worst panic I've had in many years. It does work for 3 things for me-- anxiety, depression and Fibro so hopefully it continues to do so. I've been at a low dose 60 mg for years. When we have so many issues, I have DDD and herniated disc, all not deemed to be surgically successful in treating. You are not whining or a dreamer..if you are then I guess I am too!
@stulerner I had a reaction to Lamotrigine/Lamictal years ago. I'm glad it's working for you.
I have not tried CBD oils yet. My medical team and I have found that because I had gastric bypass nearly 12 years ago I process medicines much differently than "normal" people. Yes, oxycodone is serious stuff but I believe it's what I need now. I've had chronic pain for 25 years now.

Hi Jen!
I also had gastric bypass in 2007. Lamotrigine worked for me after the surgery in 2009 or so. My doctor put me back on it, but I don’t feel I’ve gotten the energy
Or relief from my bipolar disorder that I got before. I take 125mgs morning and night. Have you experienced this? I’m also taking Cymbalta as I suffer from Fibromyalgia. I take 90mgs In the morning.
Recently Trintellix 10mg in the morning only but can’t tell any difference. I get instant relief from Abilify but hate the weight gain.
Abilify gives me instant get up and go after
I take it the first night. What have you tried as far as meds?
I’m getting really discouraged because what worked before is not doing the same anymore. Doctors have told me our bodies change so normal we don’t get the same result.
