If you want to keep trying it, back off the dosage and see how it affects you. I have found it does block the pain very well, though I understand different people have different reactions.

The dose was 30mg, I felt awful for two days and haven't taken it since, the pain did subside that night but I can't risk feeling that way again.
I may go back to my GP and ask if he can start me at 10mgs( if that is possible ).
I am also taking imipramine and wondered if two antidepressants is too much although the neuro said to take both.
Are you able to function normally taking Cymbalta, my worry is that I become so doped up that I can't perform my job or my family duties properly- this happened with my dad( he existed going from bed to sofa and became a social recluse, no life for anyone and he was still in pain
)
