Cymbalta was originally prescribed for RSD (Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy) Pain. 60mg did absolutely nothing for the RSD or Depression. They then upped it to 90mg with what I call wonderful results... where I was for a long time but that level too quit working. At 120mg I was getting some pain relief again for the RSD but it did nothing for the depression.

Oh...In case I haven't posted yet.... I am SEVERELY allergic to ALL narcotic and opiate pain killers. I have nearly died each time they tried a different one.

The Pdocs in the past have mentioned stopping the Cymbalta all together so that may be what happens.... that scares me as it is the only thing that even takes a small edge off of my RSD pain.....

We'll see what happens on Monday....
