I started on Lyrica in the spring of 2007 and added Cymbalta in the
fall 2007. It helped tremendously with the pain and my depression
but also made me sleepy. Adding Amantadine 100mg morning and noon
help counteract drowsiness but if you're not depressed I'd stay off.
Cymbalta saved my life but I hear it is hellish to wean off of. I've
heard of some people opening up capsules and removing grains to make
successively lower doses to help withdrawal and if I continue to feel
better and stronger I want to get off it first. I don't mind staying
on Lyrica as I do really well on it .

Hi Mndy are you saying that cymbalta makes you sleep a lot or it is
better for pain. My neuro wants to put me on. Is this a side affect
for you? I am afraid to take them from hearing about these side
effects I take Flexril and it makes me so drowsy. Will you give me
some points? I do hope you get better

I've had a week of less pain over all and almost no buzz when I tip
my head down ( L'hermittes' sign) have been able to use a hoe and
shovel in the garden my father (he's 81 and healthy as a horse)
helped me plant. One year ago I was in too much pain and
depression to plant things and left the small garden my husband
and kids planted to go to seed. keep me in your prayers! Perhaps
I'll be able to wean off Cymbalta and not need to sleep 16 hours a
day!!!!
