    Should I care?

    Catherine, I was diagnosed with Fibro when I was 19. I went from being an A student, working part-time, active in sports, lot of bands and I was social. My "last" year of high school things began to drop one by one. I remember I had an air mattress in a spare locker so I could nap during...

    4th day on Cymbalta and I need advice

    Update: My doctor was onboard with stopping the Cymbalta. I had super fun withdrawl symptoms at my appointment ( I had full on body shakes, lots of weeping and super fragmented thoughts) because I had to not take my dose that morning so that I was able to leave the house. As it was my body...

    4th day on Cymbalta and I need advice

    I've been on a low dose of gabapentin for a while now and that has helped keep the pain manageable, so it was mostly fatigue and weakness that was affecting my functionality. I started 30mg Cymbalta 4 days ago: Holy side effects! More pain in new places(at least twice as much as before)...

    I tried Lyrica and i found it helped for pain, but it made me into a zombie. I have almost no memory of that time. I am on Gabapentin now. I was up to 1200mg a day, super drowsy, I still had pain and I felt wrong. I couldn't do anything to distract myself. If cut it back to 100mg in the...

    Cymbalta and Headaches

    If you tolerated 30mg ok, and it helped with the pain why did you increase the dose? Did you stay at 60mg and did the headaches go away? I've been on 30mg of Cymbalta for 4 days now and my pain is worse than ever and I have a crazy new kind of headache. I can also only sleep for 6 hours...
