Advice & Tips
I started Lyrica last year, but it made me gain weight 30lbs. I stop taking it, then I was put on Savella after a couple of days, I noticed how much it made me sweat and I already sweat due to living in Fl. So I decided to go back on the Lyrica, but I find I also need Cymbalta for anxiety it helps with the Lyrica and they don't want you to take it with the savella..

Advice & Tips
I'm in so much pain and my fatigue is really bad. Would it be worse without Cymbalta? I have no idea. I started out on Pristiq and felt better emotionally. We upped the Cymbalta to 90mg and noticed no difference so backed it down to 60mg again.

Advice & Tips
I had to cut back on my dosage to 60mg because I was tired all the time. It helps my anxiety as well as the pain. Or maybe it doesn't help the pain at all, I don't know, but it does help the anxiety. I couldn't figure out how to change my dosage at the top of the page.

Advice & Tips
This medication has greatly improved my quality of life. Before I started taking it I could barely walk around my own house and I was always in a daze. Now I can walk again, and function more like I did before I started experiencing symptoms of fibromyalgia. As an added benefit, I'm not as socially awkward as I've always been.
