Hi SunshineGirl

I had the same experience after starting on Cymbalta for my CRPS. My hair was falling out at a greatly increased rate and this went on for a number of weeks. However, I also started various other meds at the same time and I honestly think it was neither the CRPS nor the Cymbalta - I reckon it was good, old-fashioned stress. Don't underestimate the physical, psychological and emotional trauma that comes with the initial CRPS diagnosis, coming to terms with all of the symptoms and so on. I wouldn't worry about it - just keep an eye on it and you'll probably find that it gradually stops as you gradually get to grips with everything. If not, then it is probably worth raising with your doctor.
