Paula , you said that "you never had any problems with depression, yet you say Prozac didn't bother you" THat means that you have tried it in the past for depression. I don't think Cymbalta is a replacement for pain meds, just perhaps a "booster". Cymbalta is much like Prozac structurally, with a few replacement of molecular groups, but basically shares a lot of similarity to the core structure of prozac.
STeve. This stuff works for me, I'm not pushing it. IN fact , I was very sceptical of it being all they say it is, but for now , i'm buying it. cs
