I am on 60mg of cymbalta and I am an emotional wreck without it. I haven't experienced any pain relief but the depression is definitely better with it. Good luck if you decide to try it again.

Cymbalta was a horrible drug to come off of so really really thinkbabout it before starting again. It's neatly impossible to wean off it without withdrawal symptoms. I weaned and still had extreme anger episodes, extreme dizziness, extremely high blood pressure(180/100) for months, I didn't sleep for days, headaches. I was on 60mgs for 9 months.

I was on Cymbalta for 3 months. No pain relief and only a little help w depression. I switched straight from Cymbalta 60 to Savella titration pk with no wash out period.

NIght and day difference between the two for me. Hope you find some relief!

You mentioned you were on 60mgs of Cymbalta. I know when I was taking 60mgs I became extremely nervous. That is why I was thinking of going on 30mgs. since when I was on this amount I don't remember having any bad effects.

You know it's possible that it was there but it wasn't so terrible that I stopped taking it....I stopped because I was having easy bruising ( I take a lot of ibuprofen for endometriosis pain which apparently isn't good with cymbalta)& was having surgery so I didn't want bleeding issues in surgery. One thing with it is I would have those withdrawal symptoms if I accidentally missed a dose...within 4 hours of missing I was going nuts!
There is a website called cymbalta withdrawal which I found interesting and I had seen it first I would never have started!

Thanks Christine Will look at that site.

On 60 mg now - initial nausea and headache for 1 month that overnight one day disappeared - working great on pain!!!! fog, not so much, take Provigil for that!
