I just wanted to ask you how did you feel after being put on Lyrica and Cymbelta. I am feeling better since I started taking it. I have Small Fiber Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy. The nerve pain has dramatically decreased. Like you I gained weight and major brain fog. It like my mind is swimming in jell-o.
Hey there,
I have to tell you that nothing controlled my pain like this combination of Lyrica and Cymblta. HOWEVER, there are drawbacks that you need know about (no one told me) 1. I have gained an incredible amount of weight 2. I am having problems with my legs ie. swelling and pain in my feet and ankles. 3. Lyrica is processed through the kidneys (just be aware of that one).
These are serious issues that increase with time. There are other combinations of meds that can dos good a job without the symptoms. Look into Savella .

Hope that this helps,
Cyndy
