FWIW I'm not liking it, in fact I swear its increasing the PN pain.

I never experienced drowsiness or fog with this medication but I can tell you that it took me about a month before it kicked in. If you think that the Cymbalta might be a good fit for you I'd stick with it for a little while longer as some side-effects can dissipate after a few weeks. How much are you taking? If you're not starting at 30mg I would try that and see if side-effects subside.
However, having said all that, I find that Cym is great at masking muscular or myofascial pain but I don't find it that it helps my nerve pain at all.
Have you tried R Lipoic Acid yet Mike?

Interesting. Didn't make mine worse afaik but certainly hasn't helped. Otoh I can barely feel my muscle pain anymore which is a mixed blessing because I don't know where to massage
. But at least I'm off the opiods now!
