I thought that I had responded to this thread before........but I guess not !

I had good results from Cymbalta......it didn't make the pain totally go away,but it certainly helped.

I think we should be careful about saying any medication is totally evil or should not be prescribed. Some meds are going to work for some of us and not for others. I do think it is helpful to be as knowledgable as posssible about any meds that we take. Knowing about possible side effects, so we can be alert for them and report to our doc ASAP is important.............but just because some people have a horrible reaction to a med doesn't mean everyone else will too. I can't take Penicillin, but it has saved millions of lives worldwide
