I seen a new doctor today about something else but while I was there he discussed my mps with me . He gave me a prescription for the above drugs has anyone ever tried them and if they have how did they find them
I am considering taking them he said for 50% of the population they are great however for the other 50% the side effects are to much.

I believe it's what you people 'over the pond' call 'cymbalta' if that helps...

Really hope it works for you :)

I'm taking it-been one month now. It's been helpful to me. However I also take Meloxicam daily, and it seems to the be combo of the two that provides me relief. When I tried to go off the Meloxicam, my pain started to come back.
I take 30mg daily for now.

Hi Bullring,

It's been awhile!
50% odds are excellent. I'm curious if you've tried the duloxetine and how it's working for you. My doctors also say it's good for pain.

I take melooxicam like htimpaired. It was prescribed to me for my arthritis as it's a NSAID. It helps some for my other pains too.
