Hi LinJane and welcome..I also take Cymbalta about 6 months now 120 mg now. It's difficult to determine if it makes me tired as I don't sleep well at night. Don't usually get to sleep till 3-5 in the am. then sleep anywhere from 9-1. I personally feel good on cymbalta to being on two other anti-depressants double dosed. Paxil cr and Wellbutgrin xl and 3200 mg of neurotin. they all wiped me out, no energy at all. I have more burning pain, but at least I'm no in a fog all day. I do cry more than before, but maybe that is good release for the pain.
Everyone is different in their meds. How long have you had RSD? For me it has been 13 years and now full body. I' mobile , which I'm grateful for. Have had a lot of pt and massage therapy and I swim which helps a lot. I'm trying to build up my stamina.
Where is your RSD and what is your treatment? Hope you have a good Dr. with experience. Most of us have been to several Drs. I was four years before being diagnosed. Welcome to the forum and hope you are having a better day. loretta
