Cymbalta is listed as a medication to avoid on the RLS-UK website. rls-uk.org/treatment Scroll down to Medications to Avoid.

Totally agree with Lunawildwolf and martino. You may well be in the minority Rwall and it makes no difference to your RLS symptoms.
Like amitriptyline, for 1% of sufferers it can help but for 99% of sufferers it makes symptoms much worse.
Only way to find out is to try.
Sorry but it didn't work for me.
Hi, it just didn’t work for me. I am using anafranil now in Turkey which isn’t as bad as cymbalta
It sent my RLS into orbit just like the SSRI's (Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, etc.) all did.
