I can't sleep when taking Cymbalta: What else can I do for pain?

I just wanted to jump into any discussion of Cymbalta. My therapist put me on 120 mg when it finally worked. For fibro and for depression/anxiety. It leave a nasty taste in my mouth, even water tastes weird, but otherwise, love it. I was taking the total dose in the morning when I realized it was making it hard to stay awake, so I switched to nighttime before bed (like many of us, I have chronic sleep issues) and it really helped me to get 7-8 hours every night. I would love to hear other Cymbalta stories. Thanks, Peggy

Hi Peggy
So glad Cymbalta is helping you. I take 60 mg (Duloxetine) at night and unfortunately my pain defeats it for a good hour or two every single night. Last night was 3am. However, once I do get to sleep...I sleep like a rock. Weird right?! We're all different.
