I am sure someone answered this question before but i think i missed it. I was told by a nurse that cymbalta is best for RSD. She said the side effects make her sleepy and if i take it take it at night only..She advised me to take it for two weeks and see how i do. I tried everything except this med. I told my doc i did not want to be hooked someething like i was with the others. She stated this is not a narcotic. If anyone tried this before or had expierences or knwos something could you please share. I have been without meds for aabout one to two years and i just want to bring my pain level down its been beyond ten for months a year?? thanks to anyone
