I haven't heard of CBT before, what's that?

CBT = Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Like counseling or "therapy" - which, if you're depressed, is not a bad thing to include in the treatment. I have gone to a few sessions myself as the enormity of dealing with this has taken its toll and added stress to my home life.

I certainly hope as well, that the Cymbalta will be without any serious side-effects, however I haven't had any real side-effects with the Lyrica even though I am on the highest dose (600mg) per day.

Seems those types of medicines don't touch the sensory pain. :-( Will be curious to see if the Cymbalta helps. If you tolerated Lyrica well, my guess is you'll tolerate this one well the same. The weight gain is a pretty common side effect from what I've read. Elavil is also another one that came up in research. Seems both are more geared for diabetic neuropathies however. Good luck with them! Please do let us know your experience.
