Members connected over the shared experience of involuntary limb movements, with many describing sudden jerking, jumping, or tremors in their arms and legs that happen daily, often worsening in the evening or at night. Several members identified Cymbalta as a trigger, noting that tremors began or intensified at higher doses and improved or stopped after discontinuing the medication. A recurring theme was the uncertainty of whether these movements stem from fibromyalgia itself, medication side effects, or overlapping conditions like restless leg syndrome or Tourette's, with some finding temporary relief through natural remedies like Arnica gel while others continue seeking answers through sleep studies and medical guidance.

Yep, on and off daily. Mine is to the point where I will have a burning sensation that goes along with it.

I did when I was on Cymbalta, especially when they increased it over 60mg. I'm finally weaned off of it and I haven't had a problem

I had tremors in my legs. It was a side effect of Cymbalta. I stopped the Cymbalta and the tremors stopped.
