Just a reminder...
If you are tempted to use NSAIDs with Cymbalta, there is a bleeding warning that you should understand.
SSRI drugs increase bleeding and NSAIDs can cause bleeding in the GI tract, so taking them together is not advised.

Information on the risk of bleeding has been added to the Warnings/Precautions and Patient Information sections and language has been added on concomitant use of duloxetine with warfarin and other drugs that affect hemostasis. The revised labeling states that concurrent use of an NSAID, aspirin, warfarin, or any other drug that affects hemostasis may potentiate the risk of bleeding. In addition, it states that patients receiving warfarin therapy should be carefully monitored when duloxetine is initiated or discontinued.

The suggestion by Dr. Latov to use an NSAID with Cymbalta
is foolhardy considering this bleeding risk.
If you continue with this treatment please seek a good GP who can monitor you well. And remember, no alcohol with Cymbalta.
