Danni I didn't want to say it and sway you, but I'm actually trying to come off it at the moment after about 2 years...its very difficult to stop there are awful withdrawal issues...I've put on so much weight on it and my blood pressure is high cos of it also. Maybe quit now while u can! Xx

Duloxetine (Cymbalta ) I take in the morning at the end of the breakfast so it is with food. Drink lots of liquids after. It did at the beginning make me sick and jittery and heart racing and feeling like throwing up or fainting. Now after a month of being taking it regularly every morning I don't have bad symptoms. It does I think help me with all body pain, less headaches and I am not that cranky and weepy.
So my advise would be , take it in the morning with food, drink a big glass of water and see how it goes. If taken at night it gives me aweful restlessness .

I have 4 kids too :-) fibro is hard with kids!! I tried lyrica but I found it almost put me to sleep on my feet, I couldn't function to take care of them, so had to stop taking it. I take solpadol now and am addicted to the codeine, but one battle at a time! Xxx

I'm on 60mg in morning and 60mg at night. Think sometimes it's hard to tell if any of the meds are working, even if you reduce a dose, sometimes thw side effects of that make things worse. I am starting to think image be better off not taking any of them

I was given 60 to start with and felt high as a kite all day and very dizzy and was sick in the evening. I asked the doc to reduce it to 30 and I've been on that since but not sure it's as effective anymore.
