Advice & Tips
Cymbalta is kind of a pain in the rear. It works great, but insurance companies don't like to approve it for fibromyalgia. Also, the withdrawal symptoms if you don't take it on time increase the longer between doses, and they're really disruptive. Since my doctors and insurance can't seem to agree on who should prescribe it, I've gone through this several times. However, it does work wonders for me. When I'm on it, I can function much better.
