It is called Cymbalta. Since being on it I've noticed my pain isn't as bad. Sometimes I wonder if it is worth it due to the side effects.

Cymbalta helps me a lot. Lyrical did nothing for me but I use Gabapentin/Neurontin.

I was on the highest dose of Lyrica did nothing for me. I feel with fibro everyone is different and experience different things so it may work for you, just trail and error.

Cymbalta or another newer med similar to it is MANDATORY!! Lyrica has a different function. There are dif types. In choosing pain Dr, I advise against those whose 1st training is in anesthesia. They love doing implantable things but they don't talk to people well. They are used to dealing with those who are asleep. They know theory & biochem. Just not how awake people want to function. A good FP, Internist or psych who really LIKES people and smiles are good. Ask about what associations they belong to. The AIPM is a good one. They work to get people out of pain by many means. Mtg coming up mid-Oct.

I'm on duloxetine I believe you call it cymbals in America the only thing I've noticed it makes me feel drowsy zombie fide but it has really helped my depression and anxiety it's meant to help fibromyalgia but I can't say that it has in my case but I've had no funny side effects and I've been on many antidepressants over the years
