Etoricoxib is an anti- inflammatory drug and Duloxetine is an anti-depressant with pain relieving qualities that is licensed as a fibromyalgia treatment. There are lots of anti-inflammatory drugs so combining one of them with Duloxetine is very common. Often Pregabalin or Gabapentin is part of the mix, especially for nerve pain. It may take a couple of weeks for you to see any benefit and if you get none, your GP may suggest other drugs as getting the right one for you is a bit trial and error. Keep a pain diary so you can easily look back and reach a judgement on whether the pills are benefitting you.
