Kevin, I have been taking cymbalta since Dec. I am able to tolerate it very well. I did not have too many side effects. I take 60mg. and at times have taken 90mg. It has helped with the depression and the pain. Tho I started taking Lyrica about the same time so not sure if it's the lyrica or the cymbalta that has really helped me. Again, everyone reacts differently to a medication.

I got severe gastritis from the 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.

Doctor started me with one-30mg tab per day. Thanks, Kevin
