Default Cymbalta?

Last night I was prescribed Cymbalta for my pain, depression and anxiety. Has anyone ever been on Cymbalta? If so, has it worked for you?
My other option was Neurontin, but I wanted to give another anti-depressant a shot. That is also my other question, has anyone been on Neurontin and has it worked for you? What are the side effects?
