I used to take Cymbalta and it works wonders for me also! BUT......my insurance stopped covering it and being on disability, I could not afford to pay for it out of pocket. I believe it is a good drug and works very well.

I've been on 60mg of Cymbalta for >3 years and I don't feel like it's doing anything. I was on 120mg but slept all the time.

I changed some years ago as well,from fluoxetine. Was for the same reason. It did not help for the pain or to sleep. But I got better control over panic attacks together with mindfulness . And when I get depressed I do not automatically go into that Downwards spiral to a full depression

I took it for a while. I was on 90mg daily after a period of time. It would help with pain for a bit then stop and the doctor would up my dosage. I was eventually having horrible side effects and feeling like a zombie. I tried to go off of it several times by cutting down and I'd get really sick and dizzy. Lots of people have issues with this medication as I have. I eventually quit cold turkey and after a few weeks I feel so much better as far as the side effects go. I had no idea how many ways it was messing me up until I was off of it. Now my aunt takes it for fibro and loves it, but it was a nightmare med for me. Read up on it. The side effects can get scary. :(

I am taking Cymbalta (duloxetine) for pain and for sleep. I am at the lowest dose and taking 30mg every 3 days at night. I tried taking 30g every day but this was too much for me and had me feeling a bit stoned and unfocused during the day. Taking it every 3 days however has been a miracle for me!!! On the first day after taking it I feel a little sleepy, but on the second and third days my energy is great. Coming from 5 years of suffering, after starting Cymbalta I have had the best weeks of my life since the issues began. It has been helping me a ton but of course it won't work the same for all people.
I was changed from Baclofen to Cymbalta to treat pain without the muscle relaxing side effects. But yes, take it slow and see if a dose works for you! I would definitely recommend trying it out.
