Thank you for your concern. I have been on this Cymbalta for 5 weeks now. I started with 30 mg & last week it was increased to 60 mg & still no relief. I don't have much of a life. I know this Cymbalta is an antidepressant but does it not help for pain?. I also tried the Nortriptyline & it was helping but made me so constipated that I had to get off of it. Then I tried the Gabapentin 200 mg & it made me so tired I had to taper off that. I don't know what meds to try. I worry a lot about the side effects. Mainly weigh gain & constipation. I am so glad I found this group because I am learning a lot. I also have pancreatitis. My lipase & amylace is going higher & higher & I had MRI & ultrasound done & they don't don't why it is like that so I am going through a ot right now. Thank you for your support.Genie
