Fibromyalgia Pain + Cymbalta

I fear Cymbalta also. There is a Facebook page for people trying to get off this medication (Cymbalta Hurts Worse). Many users don't feel any benefit, or the benefits wear off after being on the drug a while. It can take years of slowly reducing this medication to avoid serious withdrawal side effects.

Hello, I just looked at that Facebook page, and I have a BIG concern with it. I was trying to post an encouraging, and positive comment to one of the members. To prevent an opposing point of view from appearing, the administrator turned off comments for the post. I thought maybe it was a coincidence, tried again on a different post, and the same thing happened. One-sided on line information is a "red flag" when deciding how much reliance to place on a particular site.
Here is a Fibromyalgia Facebook page that reports both points of view, where you can read many experiences:
