Has anyone had experience using cymbalta for pain relief?

I was prescribed this but, it made me dizzy all the time

I’m currently taking it and just like the rest of you I don’t notice that it is helping the fibromyalgia pain.

I tried it but it caused aggravation for my GI problems. I have seen successful results with Cymbalta. I’m a nurse with 45 years experience!

Cymbalta has helped my back pain for 3 years now. I can tell a difference on it than any anti depressant I have been on.

I've been on cymbalta for about 16 years now. Originally a doc said it was an antidepressant used for people with chronic pain. Moved to different state where primary care doc prescribed all your medications. She told me that she thought worked better for fibromyalgia (I have) than Lyrica or Gabapentin. I take 1 60mg tab and 1 90mg tab, but have many more health issues than just fibro. Never had any side effects from it.
Hope this helps a bit. Any questions, let me know.

I love the commercial of the guy digging clams in a daze with a puffy clouds sky, shown while they read a minute long list of side effects. Exactly how I felt on it, dreaming about digging clams.

I do. Cymbalta takes the edge off arthritis pain; also prevents anxiety. No side effects.

Interesting. I had a doctor want me to try it for GI - upper abdominal pain.

I've been on Cymbalta for years off and on and it works great for my pain of lupus and fibromyalgia. Just be willing to give up completely your sex drive and possibly some weight gain but it may be worth it

Did you have trouble coming off of it when you did? I would like to try it because the gabapentin is not working that well but am afraid that if I have side effects from it, it will be difficult to get off of it.
