So I am at the 20 mg dose now and I think today it was causing me to be sweating.
Is Cymbalta one of the meds that is bad for the teeth - causes dry mouth? Or which pain meds do cause dry mouth? In addition to RSD we do not want our teeth to rot!

I haven't noticed any problems with dry mouth at all.

Confused
I started it in January and am having problems with extreme sleepiness. My dosage is 60mg.
Am going to decrease to 40 mg and see how that goes. I do not notice a change in my pain. I was sleeping poorly as most of us do, now cant stay awake! Seriously, I was awake 6 hrs Saturday and maybe 8 on Sunday.

I take 60mg of Cymbalta nightly, for me it is a great help. Doesn't help with the burning, stabbing pain. It it does with the deep down in my bones pain.

Hi I started cymbalta about 7 wks ago doing good now but at first it was very bothersome, my dose is now 120mg a day but at 90mgs I felt the worst hot flashes, nausea, shins ached I thought what the heck has she got me taking
if you can stay with it untill you get to your recommended dosage. hope all goes well.
