It the same as Cymbalta it works for me but you have to increase every ounce awhile. On 90mg for two months and have only taken one opiate.

I have been on it for about 9 months and it helped me so much that I take a quarter to a half of the pain meds that I did before. I started noticing a difference after about 3 weeks. Hope it helps anyone else who tries it.

Cymbalta does work for both fibro and anxiety or depression. I was put on 30mg for a year then my dosage was increased by 60mg because I kept crying, kept being anxious. I'm feeling much better taking it.

Didn't help
Caused depression (didn't have it before)
Caused anxiety (didn't have it before).

Cymbalta work great for Fibro, been on it seven years, not just for depression! You have to remember everyone is different in how the meds work for them. I'm on Wellbutrin for depression due to this horrible disease. Just letting you know what works for ME! Hope this info helps!
