I'm afraid to take duloxetine (Cymbalta) because I've read it has terrible withdrawal issues if you ever want to discontinue it. I've heard Lyrica has the same issues. I imagine my PC doctor, and other doctors in my area, won't prescribe Tramadol until I try other meds first. I might have to break down my fear of meds to get pain relief. Next week, I'm going to a pain clinic and another clinic that deals with fibro and will ask about low dose naltrexone and medical marijuana. I heard LDN might take a while to be effective.
