you know I keep reading everywhere about these docs giving this medication to their patients. I don't think anyone but a psychiatrist should be able to prescribe this. That was the original intention. Now every Tom, ****, and Harry with a medical license can write a scrip for this. Very negligent, I will be glad when my newer doc remembers that my pdoc already tried this and stop asking me about it.

I totally agree about Cymbalta...it does nothing and what it does do is not helpful.

I was put on this evil drug in December...it help me with pain but I was a zombie...I didn't give a darn about anything...I was so anxious that I had to take a xanax to calm me...I would just star into space most of the day...I would rather be in pain than to be on that drug!!!

Hi Tammy. I was put on Cymbalta too. It didn't take the pain away. All it did was make me angry. I had so much rage in me. I have never been like that. I felt rude and very short tempered. I immediately went off it and when never use it again

I've repeatedly tried AD's for pain. Each one made me feel worse - like Bannet said, full of rage, rude, cranky, you name it. Only Elavil sat okay with me - it's not an SSRI or SSNRI, it's an old fashioned tricyclic, whatever that is.
But that must be why it didn't bother me. (made me tired, but what's new?) Still at wits end with pain and no docs willing to RX anything pain med wise, I was almost at the point of giving in and trying Cymbalta. Glad I saw this. I'll spare myself the trouble.

I'm on Cymbalta and it's working ok, but I have to admit, on most days all I want to do is sit. Maybe it's part of the problem. I should mention this to the neuro next month.

i was on cymbalta for DEPRESSION!!
It was fabulous for that. Unfortunately, it raised my liver enzymes so i now take Effexor, which is in the same family. IMHO - Antidepressants should be reserved for people that are clinically depressed. NOT for situational depression NOT for pain ---- omg especially not for pain. The side effects of all these types of antidepressants are very rough. And, they take time to work (4 - 6 weeks) - at which time, one (imho) should be under the care of a psychiatrist. just my opinion, sims |
