I think amitriptyline is better than Cymbalta.

When I started the drug thread here, I found a new meta-analysis of Neurontin/Lyrica that stated that they
only work in about 1/3 of patients for pain. And have lots of
side effects.

Other anticonvulsants:

Most of the drugs used are a shot in the dark...meaning they are not great or predictable.

I think you should concentrate on supplements, because they at least will help heal you.

There is a poster here who used prednisone for his vaccine reaction. This makes sense, because it is an anti-inflammatory.
Have you tried a Medrol Dospak or a short burst of steroid?
To see if they work? If this works, an NSAID or aspirin may help as well. They work in a similar way.
