Just remember everyone's system reacts differently to meds. I tried Cymbalta and the side effects were so severe I had to stop after 5 days. I was then put on Lyrica and I have had no side effects and it is actually working. So you just need to try and see what works best for you. My friend tried Lyrica and all she wanted to do was sleep. It actually works the opposite for me and amps me up with tons of energy!.. Go figure.
