Still we do not know to what extent this is going to affect adults using these drugs...but it is still something to think about, carefully.




... I did have some pain relief using Lyrica for my Small Fiber Neuropathy.

Cymbalta, though, has always been the magic bullet for me when I get flairs, with about 75% overall pain relief after being on it 60 mg for several weeks.

What is really interesting, though, is that the pain tends to stay away for some period of time AFTER I discontinue each course of Cymbalta.

For example, I had a big flair in SFN in my palms and even the soles of my feet this past winter. I was then on Cymbalta full strength for five weeks, and completely discontinued it on March 5th.

I was then relatively pain-free until my current fair which began April 18th.

For what it is worth ....
