Cymbalta/duloxetine helping neuropathy pain
I am newly back on duloxetine for about 9 days now.
I was surprised to note a significant decrease in the neuropathy pain at just 7 days.
Clearly it is a masking effect on the pain, I can still feel it is there, it's just not sharp. Yet welcomed relief.
The antidepressant activity of it remains to be seen, as is the course with most antidepressants, wait over weeks to see any effect.
Startup side effects have been minimal in my experience.
Also ordered today pharma gaba to hopefully help with anxiety and jitteriness.
It is noted to have a calming effect.
