I know that if Cymbalta doesn't work for you, it is tough to get off of. I also take a Tramadol a few days a week for the forefoot pain, which doesn't bother me unless I'm on my feet or walking.

Anyone who's taken both Nortriptylene and Cymbalta & find one works better for you or can just tell me your experience with them?
It depends on your metabolic enzymes. Everyone metabolizes differently depending on genetics, so its partly trial as to which works better for you.
