Yes Mark,

I have tried to come off Cymbalta and the anticonvulsant medication without success.

I slowly tappered off Cymbalta but what it resulted in was severe neuropathic pain, a tooth extraction in order to get relief from the constant numbness, pain, headaches which resulted.

This withdrawal led to a diagnosis of trigeminal neuralgia. It led to an increase in medication Cymbalta and Lyrica (now Topomax).

If it's not broken (your medication regime) don't mess with it!

I am very lucky, I can lead a normal life with very small doses of Cymbalta and Topomax so I am just going to put up with it and be thankful!

I was wondering the same thing! I am almost willing to try it for myself to see if Cymbalta will help...

No I don't, the dr prescribed it for my daytime fatigue… I still haven't agreed to take it, my GP agrees that it probably isn't worth it just for the fatigue.

That is great to hear! It has been a year for me and I have tried to improve without drugs, but starting to wonder if they are needed. I have never been a big med user, I much prefer more natural/holistic methods so this is hard for me.
