I've been on 60mg of Cymbalta since Feb. It helped a lot at first but the pain has been getting worse. My doc added 75mg Lyrica to the Cymbalta. Helped a little. I went to see some docs at Johns Hopkins and they increased my Lyrica to 300mg. I lasted about 2 weeks at that dosage. The side effects of confusion made me non-functional. The docs told me to stop the Lyrica, which I had. I stopped Cymbalta also just to see if it was working at all. I was in tears the pain was so bad, so started Cymbalta again. It does work.
