Hi I have been on these started me on 20mg for a month then on to 40mg the following but I had to come off them gave me more problems, but each of us is different you can only try them and see, they were the last ones they say I could try so they could cut down on my other tablet but now they know they can't. See how you get on Love & Hugs Xx

I was on them for a very short time as they brought me out in big itchy spots and I had to stop them, so don't know if they would have helped.

I was on them and found them really helpful, I did wean myself off of them only because I don't like taking anything for more that a couple of years as I believe the effective them diminishes. I would be quite happy to go back on them and probably will after i have had my x-ray on my neck.

Duloxetine is one of the few dugs licensed as a fibromyalgia treatment as it has been proved to help in clinical trials. I take 90mg a day and find it fantastic at reducing the pain and my depression, caused by the pain. I also take 300mg of Pregabalin a day in 75mg doses spread over 12 hours of the day. Combined, the two drugs work for me and reduce the pain by 50%.
