My doctor wants to switch me to <a href="/treatments/cymbalta">cymbalta</a>, can anyone share their experiences on this?side effect? good effects? I am currently on Efflexor

I am on a cocktail of meds...lexapro, meloxicam, skelaxin, <a href="/treatments/lyrica">lyrica</a>, Nortriptaline, buspirone, <a href="/treatments/cymbalta">cymbalta</a>, temazepam for sleep...hydrocodone for pain. <a href="/treatments/cymbalta">Cymbalta</a> was added recently I have had no ill effects. Since I don't sleep soundly enough to dream...consequently no nightmares

I had negative side effects from that med, extreme mood changes and aggressive behavior and over reaction to situations. My friend is on and has zero side effects. Each person is different.

Not one side effect on <a href="/treatments/cymbalta">cymbalta</a> 120mgs !!!! :)

I have been on <a href="/treatments/cymbalta">Cymbalta</a> for several years without any side effects. I've been on as high a dose as 120 mg. Currently I'm slowly reducing my dose down to 60 mg. I suffer from depression as well so this drug works for both the Fibro and depression.

I found it worked for the first year. Now it doesn't work. I'm going to ask my DR for Xtampza..I've been reading up on it, it looks promising

i take 60mg and it helps. If I miss a dose though I can tell, pain and fatigue comes on. No side effects. It has really helped me. Good luck!

I have been on Cymbalta for years. No side effects, but tried switching to something else once before and had awful withdrawal. I will be on Cymbalta for life because I never want to go through that again.

Is it normal to have bad dreams when you have fibromyalgia or is it just from the medications?
