Cymbalta??

Thanks, seems to be more positive than negative so far. Appreciate it folks.

I have not taken it, but my mother has been on it for about 4 years now. She has diabetic neuropathy in her feet and it really seems to help her. She didn't have as much relief with 30 mg, so now she's on 60mg.

It's too bad when something helps a person with pain, but their insurance won't let them have it.

The doctor we saw yesterday also gave my dh samples. 30 mg for a week then 60mg. He also said that it is expensive but will be going generic the first of the year. 5 different company's will be making it so hang in there. He said it will be much more available for everyone.

Yes, after ten years of pain I can function again. It can have some side effects if you miss a dose if you are on a high level. I weaned myself off of it and have begun using it again but at a lower dose. For fybromyalgia and other pain it is really an amazing drug. Taking other pain killers just did not work this well.
