Well my doctor started me on Cymbalta today. I sure hope this works. I've also reduced my work hours to 4-6 hours each day as needed. I first went to talk to my company on good faith trying to keep my customers best interest at heart. My company said no problem, but wanted to adjust my benifits because I would be working less. The reduction was at the recommendation of the doctor. So I got a doctors note today reducing the hours for 2 months. Should have the cymbalta figured out by then. Hope everyone is doing as well as can be expected. I keep each and everyone in my thoughts and prayers.

I was prescribed Cymbalta several months ago, and took it for five or six weeks. At first I thought it was helping, but then I began having violent dreams and a feeling in my head which felt like a zap of electricity or something. I hope that you have good luck with it, though. I hear that many people do. Good luck, Warblesnap!

Its now been about 2 weeks...I think it is helping with the morning stiffness. I don't seem to be as stiff as before. But we'll see. Thanks for all the replies.

Hi Warbelsnap. I took Cymbalta from the day it was approved. Anxiously waited for that figuring it might help my fibro and deal with my lifelong depression.
My doctor told me that originally it was thought that 60 mg was an effective dose for the pain. But then that changed and the reps told him that 90 mg was the minimum effective dose for the pain. I did stop the Cymbalta for other reasons. Once I stopped I did realize it had been helping the fibro pain in general. I hope you have good luck with it.

I've been on Lyrica. It didn't help actually made my feet and legs swell and hurt even more. That's when my Dr put me on the Cymbalta.

I' was given that for mental health problems rather than MS however, although my psychuatrist did say it might help with the pain. |
