I am on a cocktail of meds...lexapro, meloxicam, skelaxin, lyrica, Nortriptaline, buspirone, cymbalta, temazepam for sleep...hydrocodone for pain. Cymbalta was added recently I have had no ill effects. Since I don't sleep soundly enough to dream...consequently no nightmares

I found it worked for the first year. Now it doesn't work. I'm going to ask my DR for Xtampza..I've been reading up on it, it looks promising

i take 60mg and it helps. If I miss a dose though I can tell, pain and fatigue comes on. No side effects. It has really helped me. Good luck!

I have been on Cymbalta for years. No side effects, but tried switching to something else once before and had awful withdrawal. I will be on Cymbalta for life because I never want to go through that again.

Is it normal to have bad dreams when you have fibromyalgia or is it just from the medications?
