What do you think of Cymbalta, Turmeric, Lidocaine fibro inflammation?

My doctors want me on Cymbalta. I am really resistant because I am already on several other meds and am very very sensitive to meds. Bad SSRI and SNRI experiences in the past for me, though I know others have felt better from them.

They say it can help with me with my inflammation based muscle aches and OCD. I have not been diagnosed with fibro yet but the doctor has given hints that I have it. Weird and hard to explain situation, I think she is trying to make sure I don't freak out (heavy anxiety, OCD). She is working with me on my health anxiety basically, so I think she doesn't want to give a formal diagnosis right now until I see her again in August.

Questions:

Has anyone tried Turmeric for inflammatory pain? How long did it take to help? Did you ever have GI distress (I have Crohns, IBS, Celiac so I suffer from chronic nausea)? I don't want GI complications from it.

Same question as above but for Lidocaine? And does it help even though you can't rub it all over your body? I was told just to use on certain smaller areas, even though nearly my whole body is feeling pain.

And finally, Cymbalta. What has everyone's experience been like with it? Has it helped with aches? Has it been hard to get off of? Side effects while on it?

They want to start me at 20mg, the lowest dose, and even that scares me.

Thank you!!!
