@artscaping, @isaratex, @colleenyoung, and all...
I love this drug. I say this with full knowledge what a blessing this is as others have had different experiences. I began Cymbalta years ago for fibromyalgia, as off label and new to that use. It helped the overall body pain soon after beginning the drug. I'm now taking 120mg each morning. No side effects. It has made my life with pain bearable and allowed me to stop taking heavier meds with serious negative side effects...Lyrica, oxycodeine, oxycontin, neurontin, even ibuprofen. I'm thrilled with the results and no brain fog, no tummy issues, less fatigue, etc.
With the addition of marijuana tincture at bedtime, I'm sleeping with less pain, general discomfort, less anxiety. Thank you, Lord, for this drug. Thanks to my Connect friends for your great support and insights.
Hopefully you will find help for your pain control. Be blessed...elizabeth

That’s wonderful news that it works. I want to emphasize that between Lyrica and Cymbalta, many people ARE helped with fibromyalgia, which is very painful and debilitating. I’m going to describe it as
“insideous”, again, because you look fine, but the deep pain affects all areas of your life.

Yeah, I was ~110 lbs at the time, after losing so much with Cymbalta. The extra 20 lbs, was shocking, but I actually needed the nutrition, lol. I’ll probably have to wait until they develop a new med that’s not 2D6 dependent for metabolism. I’m pushing 70, so I hope it won’t be long!
