Cymbalta

[seastreak]

I have used cymbalta for many years 60......90 and recently 120 mg...but I found them good to help with chronic pain to a degree I would think they give you an advantage to cope with chronic pain . I also found tylex helpful with pain relief. Hope this is helpful to others to cope with pain and fibromyalgia.

Cymbalta can react to thyroid medication.

Sorry I’m late to this thread.

I have no thyroid so totally reliant on thyroid meds. 2 years on Cymbalta and put on 2 stone rapidly

Doctors said I was over eating. BS. I was eating very little owing to other health problems. Had a myriad of “side effects” which were all the same as those of hypothyroidism.

It took months of research and a helpful pharmacist to make the thyroid links

Just weaning off it now.

I despair at lack of basic medical knowledge. Even if you have a fully functioning thyroid, it can affect thyroid hormones. The only side effect is metabolic disorder. Some people lose lots of weight; others gain.

The OP may have been in wrong forum but thank you for an opportunity to warn thyroidites about this drug
