How is Cymbalta doing?

For a long time I've had neuropathy in lower legs, from under knees through feet, only on facial side. It finally bothered me so much I had to seek some relief. Through the VA, narcotics did nothing for the pain. Then I was started out on Gabapentin and it was increased and increased, and just didn't help the discomfort at all. Finally, I connected up with a pain clinic doctor that looked over my history and put me on Amitriptyline HCL. Right away, at bedtime, I felt a wave of relief in my legs. The dosage was increased and I came to a level of relief where I could easily live with it. I take one tablet of 50mg before bedtime and I'm good. Of course there are some days that it bothers me more, but it's tolerable.
I think it's just a matter of getting the right doctor that gets you on the right medication. Thanks to the Lord.
