I have been on it about 6 months. It helps with my tender areas, and helps a little with pain. I hear good and bad about it. Its working for me, for now

It helps my mind chill so I can sleep solidly, and I have a better attitude and more tolerance of others, which is a big plus for me. Unfortunately it has absolutely destroyed my libido...this appears to be the only bad side effect for me.

My family care doctor has been good with monitoring my Cymbalta. I attempted to come off and I was a wreck. I started on 60 mg and had my doctor up my dose to 90. If you can explain your symptoms to your doctor in a way that are nerve pain/discomfort related you may have a better chance of your family practice dr prescribing your meds.

@A MyFibroTeam Member try calling the mental health number on the back of your insurance card you are entitled to 3 free/no copay visits with a psychiatrist. If you show your doctor that you went he may be willing to increase or you can have the psychiatrist increase while there.

I know all these specialist are not the ideal way we want to spend our money however all doctors have a specialty they spent extra years in school to learn so they can provide extra knowledge then what a general practice dr can offer. Sometimes we have to show we are willing to go the extra mile to get the care we need/deserve.
