Advice & Tips: it was great in helping reduce my pain levels. it was only when my insurance stopped coverage, that i had to switch to a different combo, discovering that it wasnt helping my depression/mood levels as much as i needed. so if you have major depression and fibro, i would suggest speaking with your dr about additional meds if your depression is still a struggle, but pain levels are much better.

Advice & Tips: Do *not* stop taking this drug without consulting your physician--make sure to refill your prescription well in advance. The only really negative effects I've experienced from Cymbalta have been severe headaches, body-aches, and extreme negative emotions when I've run out before; the effects are usually the worst about 48 hours after my last dose.

Advice & Tips: normally I'm a pretty calm person but on Cymbalta I felt emotionally out of control. It wasn't for me. Also, Savella drove my blood pressure sky high. Now, I'm not on anything on the market specifically for Fibro.
