Hi there

I've been taking cymbalta for a long time. I find it very good. Though there are lots of other drugs out there. The only way to find the one that suits you is to try them.

I've been taking it for over a year and I am not sure what it does for me. I think it woks more as an anti depressant for me rather than as a painkiller. It's supposed to help you sleep as well but I continue having serious sleeping disorders. Not sure really if it helps my fibro at all if it wasn't because it helps my mood i wouldn't bother to take it.

I was also taken off of citalopram and changed to cymbalta, I take this with pregabalin and it has reduced my pain lots, would definitely recommend! x
