Members shared their experiences with fibromyalgia pain medications and their side effects, particularly addressing someone struggling with sweating and constipation from Cymbalta. Several members recommended alternatives including Savella, which one member has taken successfully for five years without significant side effects, and Linzess, which multiple members described as a miracle for IBS-related constipation. A recurring theme was the confusing overlap between fibromyalgia symptoms and medication side effects, with debate over whether excessive sweating stems from Cymbalta or the condition itself, though one member noted their sweating only began after starting the medication and planned to wean off to find out.
