I'm having a hard time tolerating Cymbalta. It seems to increase pain and tension for me. I feel like I should try switching to another one. Has anyone else switched for Cymbalta to another one and felt better? I have read that Prozac can help. Thanks.

@A MyFibroTeam Member... I went straight into the Zoloft but the pharmacist suggested that I taper into it. I had already been on Zoloft before... I didn't have any weird side effects
I became very depressed and suicidal on Cymbalta. It messed with my mind, really badly. To the point where I thought I was losing my mind. It did not help with my pain or help any of my other medications work better (like I was told it would.) I felt like it was poisoning me. I took myself off of it. Which isn't recommended to do without talking to your doctor. I was just so depressed I didn't care what the side effects were of taking myself off it. Turns out, within three days, I was perfectly fine and in my right mind again.
@A MyFibroTeam Member I take the Zoloft along with Lyrica the combination works well for me although there are many days that nothing seems to work. This is where I try to find other alternatives to deal with the pain and for the anxiety I am in an excellent group that is teaching me different coping skills to deal with it so hopefully this will be an added benefit.
I am taking both Cymbalta and Prozak...the combination works well for me-for now.
