Please make sure to look into cymbalta withdrawal, tapering before you commit taking it.

@A MyFibroTeam Member sometimes if it's a tablet, I would break it apart. But call, your doctor, maybe you can start at a lower dosage. And work at it slowly, sometimes the side effects subside... other times, it's just not the right medicine for your genetic make-up! I have alot of issues with meds πŸ˜•
Hope that helps. Good luck. Call your doctor or pharmacy for more suggestions.

I think it’s called well Butron but I will get the name of it for you. And yes it helps so much

@A MyFibroTeam Member just wondering what your doctor prescribed for food cravings? And is it helping?

Yes I take Cymbalta 60 mg and gabapentin 800 mg four times a day. I went off of Cymbalta for a while because it was causing weight gain. And my pain really really came back. So I started it again and my doctor prescribed me something else to calm the food cravings and it’s working now.
