hi mom,

my daughter takes Cymbalta and has for six about weeks. There are many of her RSD friends that take it for pain. It does take a while to get in to your system, but it seems to be helping her. If you take it DO NOT miss a dose because you can go into a form of withdrawal. My advise is to try it and see how it works for you. Everyone is different and it as helped a lot of people.

Good luck.
Sandy

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
