I am on Cymbalta and wasn't feeling any relief so my dr put me on Lyrica and a muscle relaxer and I feel like I am getting worse.Muscle spasms in my legs and whole body sometimes.Muscle spasms several times a day in my legs.Will see the dr again today and see what he says.Really sick of not being able to leave the house.Hate this fibro.

Thanks much! Does give me some encouragement to hear a positive - on-line seemed to be just negatives about Cym - A good rant can be healing! Wishing you luck!!

I guess it's working. I still hurt, but it could be working on my moods. I know when I'm not taking ir or out of it, that things seem worse. I'm adjusting it right now. My physiatrist and I are trying to find out if it is keeping me up at night. Pain is but not sure yet.
I have had bad experiences with ringing in my ears, I have to let you know.
As for losing weight, I am not sure because I know a lot of this is due to inflammation. The ringing in my ears is a rare occurrence, the pharmacist said. I'm like the side effect queen one doctor told me so it might not affect you that way.
Welcome new member! I have found a lot of information from others on here and encouragement and even patience when I rant (these poor people, what I've put them thru lol!)
God bless you and gentle hugs!

Hello, I'm Viv. Welcome to the MFT My Fibro Team. I was on Cymbalta 30 mg for a week then Cymbalta 60 mg since 2009.
I take my Cymbalta 60 mg with a muscle relaxant Tizanidine, Vitamin D and magnesium at night before I sleep. Magnesium is also a sleep booster. They all help relieve the muscle spasms and helps me to sleep thru the night.
Good luck to you.

Cymbalta has worked well for me since it was first available specifically for Fibro. Lyrics work very well for me also. Within the past year I've been able to give up Lyrica for CBD oil which has been great for arthritis and seems to be helping with general pain and Fibro. Lyrica put weight on you which I started losing without even trying and as long as the CBD oil is working for me I'm staying with it. My internist is down 6 month check-ups on me and I wouldn't try anything without medical supervision. If its legal where you are go for it. Then there's always the net. Be well.
