But im afraid yo try it because i have heard that it is incredibly hard to come off of it after you get used to it any one taking cymbalta for tn
Oh god, I'm on this tablet! Been in it for about 8 weeks and up to 60mg morning and 30mg at night. Haven't upped it yet to 60 twice a day. My GP said it was safe to take and has other patients on it. Can't say it's really helped a great deal with my pain. Will you take it?
Hope you're having a better week and the pain isn't as bad.

Maybe as add on to gabapentin but alone i dont know an for you it hasnt helped yet why not
No idea why it hasn't helped me. Mind you I've taken quite a few other meds and nothing has completely got rid of my pain (which I've had for 16 years-since I was 30). Maybe it will work better as a combination, if you decide to take it.

How long have you taken it
About 8 weeks. I should be on max dose by now 60 mg twice a day but staying on 30mg at night in case pain gets worse, then I'll up it. You feeling any better?x
Im doing ok right now i feel stress makes it worse so i try an live my life as stress free as possible
Do you have any side effects
Morning. I've noticed a dry mouth but apart from that nothing else. Thank god!
Glad you're doing ok now, was worried. I do agree stress doesn't help at all.
Have a good day!x
I think taking pills is better than pain. I take 2 different antidepressants (nortriptyline and amitriptyline), gabamentin and sometimes opioids. I don´t think how hard it is to come off from pills as I might need to take them rest of my life. I am ready to eat in anything if it helps with pain and I can live. So don´t worry and think about coming off from it when it is time to do it.
I do think about that because my body gets use to med way too fast an then i need to come off it would be really bad if i were super addicted to it
Ok then I understand why you hesitate. Have doctors offered you any other treatment also or only drugs?
Injections but that is alot of money an no guarantees
Which injections? I was in a hospital last week to try injection with anesthesia. They could not do it because I am one of the 20% of people whom they can´t see some 5 mm big hole on xray. Some hole from where they put the needle in. That means that I can´t try to inject botox or steroids there either. Now they are disscussing what to do. They promised to call me soon. Thats so messed up!
same one you are were trying to get
