Natalie,
I couldn't take Cymbalta either for the terrible headaches it gave me. It
took like 3 or 4 days for the med. to get out of my system before the headache
even stopped. I've never heard of the other drug. I'll ask my dr. about it,
esp. if it helps on pain & spasms. I'm on 900 mg of Neurotin and 75 Lyrica 3
times a day now and often have to take Vicodin 2 to 3 times a day to keep it
under control until I have a huge blow-up and nothing will touch that but going
to the ER it seems. And I'm so sick of the hospital. So, I'll ask my dr.
about this one. Glad you shared the info. Natalie M.

first 50mg cap of CymbaltaI took and so had to stop it. But, I did return to
taking an old standby Sinequan. It is a tricyclic and not an sri like cymbalta.
Sinequan is also extremely cheap. On the Sinequan I had immediate relief of my
pain, spasms and numbness. Almost forgot, it also helped with my bladder.
When I first asked for the Sinequan my doctors nurse said that they did not
like that med and did not use it. But, it is used for pain and in past a
neurologist had prescribed it for me for pain. I did a search on the net and
found it is still used and recommended for neuro type pain.
I tolerate Sinequan extremely well and I only need to take a 25mg PM dose. I
still cannot walk real far and if I try to do much I will get pain. But, I can
do more and I am no longer in constant pain and my terrible spasms are gone.

Dear Friends,
I started taking Cymbalta this week.
Can anyone who takes it tell me how
long it took to see positive effects?
Any side effects? Doctor started
me with one-30mg tab per day.
Thanks,
Kevin
