I was just started on Lyrica and Cymbalta. It seems to work ok but I begin to get pains in my shoulders and hips around 3ish in the afternoon. I work as a medical assistant and I think it is taking a toll. Does anyone else have this issue?
Thanks:-? :-?

Yes I get bad pains in my shoulders and hips, My Doctor keeps ajusting my meds and that seems to help. It soumds like your medication wears off in the afternoon. I would go back to your doctor maybe he can give you something for the afternoon.

I agree with Lana, it seems your meds wear off by that time. I think it's all a matter of going to see your doctor and ask him to adjust your doses! I'm sure you will be fine! Best of luck and keep us posted!

I was taken off of Lyrica today because I am having issues with (how embarassing) urinating. So now I only have cymbalta for the next week and I know I will be in pain. I work as a medical assistant and I am not looking forward to this week. Cymbalta did not work alone :-(
Thank you for your support.
