Doody,
You are right...the hair loss is a rare side affect. Not sure if it is one of the neurotin, but I wouldn't put it passed it. I've been on the cymbalta longer than the neurotin and the hair loss just seems to be getting worse. I will have to my Dr either way. I this rate I will be bald and suffering. . Also sorry to hear about your flare up. The last couple of weeks have been worse than normal for me also. The weather changed down here from cold to not bad (low 70s) and just changed again to the mid to low 50s.
Have you tried zoloft? I've been taking it for at least 3 yrs and I love it. I had to have a full hysterectomy at the age of 29 because of endometriosis and they couldn't save anything. I still say zoloft saved my marriage. We were all leaving in heck because of the moodiness not just from day to day but from moment to moment.
