Cymbalta possible side effects?

4 Replies

Hi I have a diagnosis of Fibromyalgia for last 2 years was on Amitriptyline previously but was not suiting me. Pain management clinic put me on a trial of Cymbalta which I have been taking for last 6 months. Seemed ok at first took pain and stiffness from my legs over last three months have developed sensitivity in teeth and what feels like swelling of gums. Nothing wrong with my teeth and they r not hot/cold sensitive. This seems to come on more when I eat my nostrils also feel a little stiff and red.

I don't want this to be the new normal can anyone relate to this ... Thx TT

I am so sorry to read that and I would talk to your GP about it as there are alternatives. It is not a drug that I have tried however. I want to genuinely wish you all the best of luck.

All my hopes and dreams for you
