Cymbalta - Should I start?
I am 5 months post concussion. Had been doing well on complete rest, no work no school. Recently had two setbacks caused by everyday stress. My neurologist thinks it's time for Cymbalta for 12-18 months and thinks it will be a positive step in the right direction. Two questions:
Should I start Cymbalta?
Does Cymbalta hinder the natural healing process?
Thanks all,
VB

In July 2013 ran into a metal bar at a playground, remained conscious. CT normal. Headache subsided after a week. In August woke with thunderclap-type headache in right side of head, right eye was droopy. Ever since had electrical-type pulsating all over when falling asleep and during sleep. Strong muscle twitching occasionally. Chest pain in heart region, front left neck region, and left shoulder. Strong heartbeat noise in head and occasional weird noises in ears. Taking Gabapentin to control nighttime nerves. Other symptoms: anxiety attacks, goosebumps, fine motor coordination problems, sleep apnea, headaches/migraines, fatigue, unclear thinking.
Update as of Jan. 2015 - almost all symptoms gone except for some tinnitus. Taking good care of myself except sometimes when I overdo it.
