I've been on quite a low dose of this drug for two and a half months for the pain of an idiopathic small fiber neuropathy badly affecting arms and legs. I've already tried Amitriptyline (heart palpitations after 3 years) and Gaberpentin. I have RA as well as Hypotgyroidism and have failed to tolerate many drugs. My general practitioner is keen to keep me on this drug if possible and tells me the side effects I'm suffereing are probably not caused by Cymbalta 30mg - if anything he wants me on a higher dose.

But I've had an awful headache, jaw crunching (ache around my jaw bone) and gastritis coming and going over the past month. I tried to come off this drug the other day but within 24 hours I was struggling with profound mood dip, anger, vomiting and worsenjng of headache. I felt I had no choice but to restart it again after 36 hours of hell. Does this correspond with anyone else's experience or is it just coincidence?
