@askpaindoc: Only ONE drug has FDA approval for chronic musculoskeletal pain… and it’s not what you think. 💊 Cymbalta (duloxetine) targets pain pathways differently than ibuprofen or opioids. It’s not a cure, but for some people it can lower pain and improve function. Talk to your doctor to see if it’s right for you. #C#ChronicPainC#CymbaltaP#PainReliefB#BackPainArthritis
Black Box Warning!!! There was a Class Action lawsuit, my dr NEVER told me!! It was hell for 7 months coming off

Cymbalta is a terrible medicine and it’s hell to come off of! I was originally prescribed for fibromyalgia which actually turned out to be Elher danlos and it never did help with my pain also caused severe depression

AskPainDoc :
Thank you all for sharing your experiences. Hearing the positives and negatives about Cymbalta directly from patients adds perspective beyond the research. Engaging in this kind of dialogue makes me a better physician and helps me better understand what people go through.

Actually took it for its intended purpose-depression. It didn’t touch my spinal stenosis & DDD pain. But it did make my teeth break due to dry mouth & made me not care if I lived. NO THANK YOU.

I was on cymbalta for depression for two weeks. I started sleep walking and woke up in my car with it running in the garage. I will NEVER recommend anyone take it.. it almost killed me and I’ve never seen anyone get better on cymbalta.
