Worked in the beginning now it does nothing to help. However its extremely hard to get off of. Basically I have to take it just to prevent withdrawal now.
I have been weening myself off Cymbalta. I used it successfully for about 5 years and I gained about 10 lbs that I can't lose. Trying CBD oil under tongue 3 times a day, just started 10 days ago. It helps take edge off pain initially. I am trying higher dose, yet it is expensive and confusing to compare brands and concentrations. Thankfully, my husband has helped.
I've been on Cymbalta. It's approved for fibromyalgia. Welcome to the site.
It helps with the pain specially nerve pain. I stayed on 60 mg since 2009. Don't like to up my dosage. I take it at night with my muscle relaxant, vitamin D & magnesium. Magnesium is a sleep booster aside from helping lessen muscle spasms.
Neither the Cymbalta nor the Lyrica helped me. I agree with Ratmom it worked like an ibuprofin which means not much pain relief. I do take Lidocaine patches which does not take the pain away but does take the edge off. I also take an epsom salts bath as much as I can. There are times when nothing works and I have to ride it out.
I been take both too like Ratmon said make me extrim hungry and slow down my pain for little amoth of time and make me sleepe i guess i need increasy my douses and bear with my tyrenes !mean this is not live!
