Hey. How are you "aunt sue"? I am on Cymbalta 120. I worked my way up to that dose. WHen I started on this med I was so nausea I would be in the bathroom of fear of throwing up. My pain doc siad give it 2 weeks even if you throw up and it should pass. It did. I took it with dinner at the start to help with the nausea. I don't know what has helped with my pain. I am thinking not so much the cymbalta but more then neurontin cause I have made progress since being on neurontin.
