Default Cymbalta 60 mg. side effects

MY PM Dr. has me on this for nerve pain because of my crpsII. I have been taking this for 8 weeks along with the other pain meds. I get very little sleep at night when taking this or not. This Cymbalta knocks me out where I can be talking you one minute and lights out the next. I have cut back by half on my main pain meds but it still does not seem to matter I cannot stay awake. Because I am not taking all my pain meds I am in pain 9+ all day long. I have found that I am a shell of a body I can't drive, read, deal with everyday needs. I told my PM Dr. about this so he dropped my script down to 30mg. I still have the same problem just not as quickly just takes a little more time to fully drain all energy from my mind and body.

I stopped cold turkey 2 weeks ago and now I feel like a person again not a pile of S@#T all the time. My mood has improved as well even though my wife disagrees. I can take all my pain meds now as needed without being drained all the time and now in some what less pain a full 24 hrs at 9+. I hate to go against my PM Dr. but I was worsted off on this drug then on and had to get back a little peace of my life back what little I now have dealing with this crpsII.

Has anyone else experience this same felling from this drug.
