I was on Cymbalta (30mg - I think) for a very short time (a month maybe)... I was given Cymbalta for nerve pain and because I am on Topamax (200mg twice a day) for Nerve Pain my options are limited. And all it did was make me REALLY, REALLY sleepy. And it did not provide any relief of anything. The doctor then took me off of the medication. I am now on Celebrex at 200mg once a day and Daulidid for break through pain. Dose is 4mg for up to 4 times a day. I also wear the Duragesic 75mcg patch. I have ankle pain from an open compound fracture Sept 2006 and DDD since atleast 2002. I hope everything works out well for you and your meds.
