I've been on it a over a year at 60 mgs. Right now though, I'm thinking I need something more as it's not taking the pain away as it did for the first 10 months or so.
I also find that sometime ibuprofen helps a bit and celebrex does a great job with the inflammation that I get. But when there is a change in the weather and it's going to or is raining, nothing takes away the deep seeded pain and ache I feel all over. I just have to endure and take my flexeril at night when I go to bed.
I hope you can find some relief soon. Take care hon!

Thanks for the advice Sabby. I get the pain in the legs thing. I get the worst burning along the side of my calf where my knee begins. It makes me feel better that it's fibro doin it. I used to freak out thinking I had blood clot in there. I wish I could take ibprofen or motrin but I'm allergic to nsaids
does cymbalta use nsaids? I can't take asprin, naproxen, ibprofen, motrin, toradol and I can't take tramadol in case I go back on Celexa. So the only things I can take are things a doctor around here won't prescribe. I think unless you have a serious disease or are dying they won't give you anything. I know they have their reasons but still. I'm tired of trying to clean my house and having to sit in the recliner with heat packs to make the pain lessen. I am aggravated at this. I'm glad they figured out why I have this all-over pain. But it's frustrating getting help for it around here.
