@sunny2, Good evening. I may have found one study about the potential impact of Duloxetine use on osteoporosis. Take a look and see if it has value for more. Let me know yay or nay so I know if I am even on the right track.

@artscaping. Thanks very much for this. Especially interesting since I do have borderline osteoporosis. I see from reading through past postings that you get some relief with medical marijuana. I have been using it for about the last 6 to 7 weeks without any result. I am using a spray with a 1:1 ratio of CBD to THC. Each two spray dosage delivers 6 mg of CBD and 6 mg of THC. I started out very slowly and kept increasing the dose and then went back to the dispensary to talk to the pharmacist. She recommended trying 2 sprays every 4 hours and 3 sprays at night. Have been doing this for a little over a week with no change. I am going to go back and discuss getting a product with a lower ratio of THC and perhaps try that during the day and the 1:1 ratio spray at night. As others have said, I don’t like the high feeling from the THC. I am also going to see if I can also use a topical cannabis cream along with the sprays. Anyway I will persevere for awhile to see what happens.

@artscaping if I may, I have a couple further questions...it sounds like you use the medical marijuana while you are taking Cymbalta? I don’t know now where I got the idea that if I start taking the Cymbalta I should stop the marijuana. Also, was it fairly soon after starting the Cymbalta that you knew it was going to be beneficial for you?
