I'm considering to stop taking it, I am hungry all the time and frankly I don't need to gain anymore weight. A friend suggested I try Cymbalta, any thoughts on this? Does it help with nerve pain? My other concern is that my pain med is not as effective as it was when I first started taking it. I don't know if my tolerance has risen or if my pain is just increasing? I've been taking Hydrocodone 10/650 for the last few weeks and it's just not helping like it did, and on top of that I think it's making my stool hard, which now I started taking Miralax to help with that. Any suggestions? I'm going to see the spine surgeon next week.

Thanks.
