I'll let you know if you're a jerk. lol. Cymbalta took a week or so not to feel lethargic but eventually made me feel pain free. No energy boost. I do go to the gym 2-3 times a week plus yoga on a chair once a week. I'm a big guy 6'7" 265#. Been an athlete all my life but had both hips replaced and both knees replaced and neuropathy ruined balance so I need to stay in shape as best I cab

@jackdiffley thanks for responding. How long does the pain relief from Cymbalta last?

Hi, Pain is no Joke, If something works even for a while for some folks that's cool. My question is there a better drug. I feel like I was used as a test rat for some of these drugs. I mean you see a guy digging clams wondering around in a dreamy sky, then they list 50 side effects. The other concern is if you can't take something stronger or an opioid, because or addiction or allergy, these may be your only choice? I could not take Morphine so maybe the synthetic pain killer worked against these other synthetic drugs. I don't trust the new drugs, beware the long list of possible side effects developing after a few years. As your body rejects them they increase the dose in order for them to work. Decreasing the dose has to be done slowly and makes you sick. Good luck and beware of these life is great new drugs. The clam hole you dig may be the one you sink into.
