I was on the Cymbalta for a very short period of time. I was getting alot of nausea & stomach upset, but I was having gallbladder problems at that time as well, so I don't know if it was from the Cymbalta or the gallbladder.
Good luck!
I take the Cymbalta in the morning and the Elavil (only 10 mgs) before bed. I don't wake up groggy unless I take a muscle relaxant with the Elavil. I also use trazodone (75 mg) for getting to sleep. Works like a charm!
It helps my pain. I never liked Elavil because it made me groggy the next day.
Good luck. I hope you find something that helps.
