it seems to help a lot for me as well as the depression. I still get an occasional flare up but much better

Cymbalta did nothing for me - so they switched me over to Savella and that really helped!

I recently tried Cymbalta and did not take well to it at all. I had only side effects and no benefits but it works different for everyone and I’m very sensitive to medications

I tried it and it works really good for the fibromyalgia pain but it has some side affects I just couldn't deal with. It makes your eyes sensitive to light and live on the beach so that just didn't work for me. But if you are not outside alot I highly recommend it as it does help with the pain and the exhaustion! Good luck 🤞

At first it worked well for nerve pain and mood. The. Had bladder problems from it. Took a long time to pee. Got worked up by urologist and he said just get off cymbalta.

I seemed to get dizzy when I take it. Is this a common side effect? I tried to talk to my doctor about it but they said it was normal so I just live in constant dizziness because I need something for my pain and this is the only thing they will prescribe me because they say it is the best thing for me.
