I've been taking 50mg daily of Nortriptylene for my neuropathy, but it doesn't touch the "folded sock" pain I have just behind my toes. It does help with the burning & pins. I went to my new Primary Care Dr for the first time yesterday & he says that in his experience people have had better relief with Cymbalta. I know that if Cymbalta doesn't work for you, it is tough to get off of. I also take a Tramadol a few days a week for the forefoot pain, which doesn't bother me unless I'm on my feet or walking.
Anyone who's taken both Nortriptylene and Cymbalta & find one works better for you or can just tell me your experience with them? |

However it has been the best tolerated of the three drugs I've tried to date for nerve pain and I have a couple of friends who swear by it and wouldn't let anyone take them off it for love nor money!

This is an interesting point and makes me feel a bit more normal for the struggle I am presently having with weaning myself off Cymbalta. I have awful headaches which affect my face and jaw, upper abdominal pain with nausea and intense nerve pain in my legs - dizziness and a panic sensation each time I drop the quantity of this drug a little. It is some kind of hell and I would really advise anyone to factor it in to their decision making before trying Cymbalta. I am very sensitive to medications in general so not everyone will experience this of course but I thought I should really flag it up because my GP certainly didn't
